I own a freehold residence in Piccadilly but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Piccadilly and has limited impact for conveyancing in Piccadilly 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 post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

After reading mumsnet.com for a cheap solicitor in Piccadilly, most post that I must instruct a CQS accredited lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in home ownership transfers, trusted by some of the UK's leading lenders. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Building Societies Association (BSA). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Society for Licensed Conveyancers. Piccadilly is one of the many areas in England and Wales where there are Accredited solicitors.

Just bought a detached house in Piccadilly , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Piccadilly conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Piccadilly registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
