In the event thatI was to purchase a freehold homein Raunds for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Raunds?

Any savings you would achieve would be isolated to the costs for searches. The conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors lawyer, SDLT return, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.

I own a freehold premises in Raunds but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Raunds and has limited impact for conveyancing in Raunds 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 creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

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