A conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors conveyancer, SDLT return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.
I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Shifnal yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Shifnal and has limited impact for conveyancing in Shifnal 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new 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 after 2037 will be extinguished.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Shifnal
It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Shifnal conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
