I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Carisbrooke but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Carisbrooke and has limited impact for conveyancing in Carisbrooke but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

As with lots of service providers, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all suggest conveyancers to choose. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that most banks operate an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your house move.
