I own a freehold property in Coney Hall yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Coney Hall and has limited impact for conveyancing in Coney Hall 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Coney Hall took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I pay a service charge for my appartment in Coney Hall. As a result of flawed financial planning I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a payment plan but there remains in the region of £3000 left to be paid.
I now wish to sell and I am panicking this will hold me back if I have to settle the amount due in advance. I'd like to sell up and subsequently discharge the arrears from the completion monies - is this practicable?
Do speak with the solicitor dealing with your Coney Hall conveyancing but one option may be to arrange for the arrears to be transferred to the buyers. The final price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then discharge the outstanding monies following completion of the purchase.
