Avoid the trap of appointing companies offering the bait of £100 conveyancing in Tenby. Optimistically, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up spending a lot in extras and still not receive the service you were hoping for.
I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Tenby yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Tenby and has limited impact for conveyancing in Tenby 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
We previously instructed solicitors locally in Tenby on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Aldermore but by your Tenby conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Tenby on 18/12/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
