I own a freehold house in St Nicholas yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in St Nicholas and has limited impact for conveyancing in St Nicholas 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous 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 dispensed with completely.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in St Nicholas. The St Nicholas property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
