I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Bromyard yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bromyard and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bromyard 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Bromyard. My lender is Tesco Bank

I am due to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Bromyard. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your property agent but this should only take place once the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Bromyard or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Bromyard.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Bromyard. The Bromyard property was put into my name in September. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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 mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
