I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years old) in Rothley. 95% of the appartments are already occupied. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Rothley?
If you getting a loan, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Rothley conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to change to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Rothley.
I purchased a freehold house in Rothley but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Rothley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rothley 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 from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Rothley. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal as all rents and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
