Last March we completed a house move in Turnpike Lane. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Turnpike Lane?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Turnpike Lane. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being misleading, then you may have a claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Turnpike Lane.
I own a freehold residence in Turnpike Lane but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Turnpike Lane and has limited impact for conveyancing in Turnpike Lane 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.

I am attracted to a couple of maisonettes in Turnpike Lane which have approximately fifty years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Turnpike Lane. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
Having spent years of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Turnpike Lane. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
