I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Addlestone based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that allocate you one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the mortgage company and explore if they make available a monetary alternative.

I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Addlestone. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is principally there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Addlestone conveyancing practitioner on the Nationwide panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Just bought a semi-detached house in Addlestone , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Addlestone conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration is dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Addlestone registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country.

Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
