I own a freehold property in Moelfre yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Moelfre and has limited impact for conveyancing in Moelfre 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 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 post 2037 will be extinguished.

A friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Moelfre I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Moelfre conveyancing searches.

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Moelfre Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Moelfre Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Moelfre.
I am purchasing a new build house in Moelfre with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

A couple of months ago I was advised by my lender that their panel conveyancers work on no sale no fee basis for conveyancing in Moelfre. I had a purchase abort and now the lawyers have invoiced for search fees! They are claiming that the fees are seperate!
in offering "no completion no fee" Moelfre conveyancing firms are writing off their charges for any work carried out. We should make it clear that this is NOT an insurance scheme. you will still required to cover any costs that the lawyer has expended for you such as Moelfre local authority searches
