I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my let out flat in Bishops Lydeard by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Can I complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your letting until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the other side, try to an acceptable time-line that all parties will look to achieve
I own a freehold residence in Bishops Lydeard yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Bishops Lydeard and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bishops Lydeard 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 creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
