I purchased a freehold house in Codsall yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Codsall and has limited impact for conveyancing in Codsall 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
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.

There is lots of here concerning conveyancing in Codsall but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Codsall
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Codsall conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Codsall. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Codsall?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Codsall is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when buying a property in Codsall? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Codsall?
Unless a prior acquisition of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors delivering conveyancing in Codsall to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
