I am in a contract race with another buyer for a property in Rhoose. What can I do to speed up matters?
In the event that you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will make use of local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Rhoose conveyancing firm. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Rhoose conveyancing deals are frustrated or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the home move being held up by an average of 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Many Rhoose conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
I purchased a freehold property in Rhoose yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Rhoose and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rhoose 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 generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Rhoose. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC 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 HSBC 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.
