I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Abertillery. The vast majority the properties are already occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Abertillery?
You are putting yourself at risk in refusing to carrying out Abertillery conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in the strongest possible terms that your conveyancer conducts them. Where time pressures and cost are top of your issues you should discuss with your lawyer about the option of search insurance
I own a freehold residence in Abertillery but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Abertillery and has limited impact for conveyancing in Abertillery 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 have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have advised us that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Abertillery conveyancing solicitor being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is not accurate.
