I own a freehold residence in Wigston but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Wigston and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wigston 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 generation 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 in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, most lenders no longer oblige their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the mortgagors signature.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Wigston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this provision principally exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I purchased my apartment on 14 September and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Wigston expressed confidence that it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Wigston particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Wigston registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
