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

It is rare for properties in Tonyrefail and has limited impact for conveyancing in Tonyrefail 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 fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.

I am planning to move home in month. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Tonyrefail. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across thissite.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this should only happen after the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Tonyrefail or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Tonyrefail

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Tonyrefail conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Tonyrefail.
