My wife and I are due to complete on the purchase of a house in Penylan but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Clydesdale are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
The conveyancing practitioner being on a Clydesdale approved list is required to advise Clydesdale of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the reduction to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Penylan.
I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Penylan yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Penylan and has limited impact for conveyancing in Penylan 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.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.

I am aiming to move house in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Penylan. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the property agent however this should only be done after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Penylan or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Penylan.

I currently have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Penylan. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform RBS?
You must advise RBS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that RBS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
