I own a freehold house in Tonypandy but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Tonypandy and has limited impact for conveyancing in Tonypandy 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 new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
Is it correct that all Tonypandy CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Skipton conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
A selection of banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

is it true that all Tonypandy solicitor practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the CLC.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Tonypandy house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Tonypandy.
My wife and I purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Tonypandy. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Tonypandy and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I purchased a house in Tonypandy last 15/9/2025 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my conveyancer told me that it can take one year to register. I have contacted HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
It is your solicitor that you should turn to here in order to satisfy any issues which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Tonypandy property. Normal Tonypandy conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the seller's solicitor that they will help resolve any registration raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
