I purchased a freehold residence in Newburn yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Newburn and has limited impact for conveyancing in Newburn 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 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 extinguished.

Given that you are now legally committed yourself to purchase you should hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a tight a fixed date to complete the conveyancing. An auction property will have an associated auction set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the auction papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You should hand this to the lawyer instructed by you at the earliest opportunity.

Planning on purchasing a house in Newburn. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Newburn conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
