My wife and I are buying a newly constructed duplex in Rhoose and my solicitor is telling me that she has to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your . A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I own a freehold premises in Rhoose but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Rhoose and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rhoose 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 new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.
