I own a freehold property in Dulwich yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Dulwich and has limited impact for conveyancing in Dulwich 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 creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

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 extinguished.

I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Dulwich. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Clydesdale?

You must advise Clydesdale prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel firm.

If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also order an environmental search. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.
