I opted for a Adamsdown based solicitor for our conveyancing in Adamsdown recently. Upon checking the small print it is apparent thatI am responsible for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or select an on-line firm promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Adamsdown?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to offset the cases that abort. You should be mindful that these arrangements tend not to cover outlay e.g. Adamsdown conveyancing search fees.
I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Adamsdown yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Adamsdown and has limited impact for conveyancing in Adamsdown 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 fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
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 extinguished.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Adamsdown I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Adamsdown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
