I purchased a freehold house in Chirk but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Chirk and has limited impact for conveyancing in Chirk 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 creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

Builders have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost three hundred pounds cheaper than my local Chirk lawyer. What's the catch?
Builders frequently have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select a preferred lawyer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they demand an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the situation you should stick with your high street Chirk conveyancing practitioner.
