I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Trefriw but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Trefriw and has limited impact for conveyancing in Trefriw 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.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Trefriw conveyancer on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Trefriw agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Trefriw. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Trefriw conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Trefriw.
