My partner and I are acquiring our first property. Our property lawyer has e-mailedto see if we would like to order supplemental conveyancing searches. As novices we are clueless as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Dunholme
The type of Dunholme conveyancing searches depends primarily on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your familiarity of the region and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information the searches could give you. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that search. Where you are uncertain, ask the conveyancer to explain.
I own a freehold residence in Dunholme but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Dunholme and has limited impact for conveyancing in Dunholme 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
