I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Victoria Docks but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Victoria Docks and has limited impact for conveyancing in Victoria Docks 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I am purchasing a new build house in Victoria Docks with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Victoria Docks is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Victoria Docks are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Victoria Docks you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Victoria Docks may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
My fiance and I may need to rent out our Victoria Docks garden flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Victoria Docks conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Victoria Docks do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
