I purchased a freehold house in Ryhall but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Ryhall and has limited impact for conveyancing in Ryhall 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 establishment 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 is to be extinguished.
A relative advised me that where I am buying in Ryhall I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

How does conveyancing in Ryhall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ryhall come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Ryhall tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ryhall or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Ryhall I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ryhall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
