Me and my partner are purchasing a flat in Basildon. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Basildon. The Basildon property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Basildon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Basildon property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

My wife and I have a semi-detached Georgian property in Basildon. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Basildon and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
