My friend's uncle is a property lawyer. I expect that I'll be able to get mate’s rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Wombourne?
You should contrast pricing. Make use of our search tool on this site. The amounts do contrast greatly but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.
IfI were to purchase a straightforward homein Wombourne for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Wombourne?
Any savings you would achieve will be limited to the disbursement for searches. A conveyancer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the sellers conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be significant.
I purchased a freehold property in Wombourne yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Wombourne and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wombourne 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 establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

Have purchased a a detached house in Wombourne , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Wombourne conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
