I am buying a property mortgage free in Barry. I have been living for the previous 15 years in Barry. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Barry conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where premises with day to day issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Barry will be able to give you some practical guidance here.
I purchased a freehold property in Barry but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Barry and has limited impact for conveyancing in Barry 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 date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

As with many service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable.
