I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Dollis Hill but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Dollis Hill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Dollis Hill 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 date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
Should our lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Dollis Hill.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Dollis Hill. Some people will purchase a property in Dollis Hill, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Dollis Hill. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the vendor to find out if the property has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s solicitors should also order an environmental search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Dollis Hill 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Dollis Hill is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Dollis Hill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dollis Hill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
