I purchased a freehold residence in Rishton but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Rishton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rishton 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.

Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

We are selling our house in Rishton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Rishton conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Rishton. We have lived in Rishton for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Rishton I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rishton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Rishton. I happened to land on a site which appears to be the ideal offering If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Rishton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you discharge the service charge as usual as all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Rishton Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Questions you should consider before buying

    Is anyone aware of any major works on the horizon that will likely add a premium to the service charges? It would be prudent to enquire if the the lease includes any unreasonable restrictions in the lease. For example some leases prohibit pets being allowed in certain buildings in Rishton. If you like the propertyin Rishton but your cat is not allowed to live with you then you will be faced hard determination. The answer will be helpful as a) areas may cause problems for the building as the common areas may begin to deteriorate where maintenance remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the managing agents you will want to know about it
