I am buying a property mortgage free in Llandysul. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Llandysul. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Llandysul conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Llandysul should provide you some sensible guidance in this regard.
I own a freehold premises in Llandysul but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Llandysul and has limited impact for conveyancing in Llandysul 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 generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
