I own a freehold residence in Gorseinon but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Gorseinon and has limited impact for conveyancing in Gorseinon 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 fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous 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.

Is it the case that all Gorseinon solicitor practices on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Gorseinon solicitor having checked that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Gorseinon surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Gorseinon
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Gorseinon conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
