I purchased a freehold residence in Pontcanna yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Pontcanna and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pontcanna 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.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Pontcanna on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Co-operative but by your Pontcanna conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Co-operative panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Nationwide as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Pontcanna. Are we obliged to appoint a local Pontcanna solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Nationwide would not normally appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide panel.
I have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Pontcanna. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform RBS?
RBS must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that RBS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
