I purchased a freehold premises in Llanybydder yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Llanybydder and has limited impact for conveyancing in Llanybydder 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation 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 after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Llanybydder. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Llanybydder?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Llanybydder. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Llanybydder solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
