I purchased a freehold property in Beddgelert but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Beddgelert and has limited impact for conveyancing in Beddgelert 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment 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 in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

We are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom apartmentin Beddgelert with a loan from a lender. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Beddgelert yet our bank inform us now that he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Beddgelert conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Beddgelert lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Beddgelert : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
