I purchased a freehold premises in Mevagissey but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Mevagissey and has limited impact for conveyancing in Mevagissey 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 creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I completed on my flat on 9 September and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Mevagissey expressed confidence that it will be recorded inside ten days. Are transfers in Mevagissey uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Mevagissey registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property so registration formalities is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
