I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Llanbradach but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Llanbradach and has limited impact for conveyancing in Llanbradach 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 new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Llanbradach took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Do I need to be wary by estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Llanbradach conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may suggest solicitors to appoint. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that most lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender related work in your house move.
