I purchased a freehold house in Cefn Mawr yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Cefn Mawr and has limited impact for conveyancing in Cefn Mawr 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 establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
The Cefn Mawr conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Cefn Mawr have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Principality conveyancing panel and my preferred Cefn Mawr lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Cefn Mawr is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I am buying a ground floor maisonette in Cefn Mawr. Conveyancing lawyer has been waiting for, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. This morning I was informed that the owner must send the insurance schedule for the flat above also. Why would my lawyer need to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it really required? We have been waiting for the last month…
