I purchased a freehold house in Yarm but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Yarm and has limited impact for conveyancing in Yarm 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 establishment 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.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Yarm. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Yarm

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

Am I better off to go with a Yarm conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can handle the legal work but they are based 300miles drive away.

The benefit of a local Yarm conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Yarm conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Yarm garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Yarm conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Yarm do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. 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.

I own a studio flat in Yarm, conveyancing having been completed July 2010. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar properties in Yarm with an extended lease are worth £255,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2098

With 73 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I pay a maintenance fee for my flat in Yarm. As a result of personal circumstances I slipped into arrears with payments. The managing agents agreed a payment schedule but there is still approximately £3000 outstanding as of today.

I want to dispose of the property and I am nervous that this may hold me back if I have to settle the arrears in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?

The conveyancing practitioner handing your Yarm sale should be able to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept settlement out of the sale proceeds. Here is an example of why it might be good to appoint a solicitor in Yarm as they may well have an established relationship with the parties.
