I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer or a family Penylan conveyancing solicitor?
On the whole conveyancing solicitors in your area will have strong connections with your local authority, which could assist with your Penylan conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they enjoy good rapport with the Land Registry covering your area Penylan, other conveyancers in the area and Penylan Estate Agents.
I own a freehold property in Penylan but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Penylan and has limited impact for conveyancing in Penylan 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.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Penylan conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Penylan.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Penylan. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Please supply a car parking plan. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
