I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bawtry. The Bawtry property was put into my name in December. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Bawtry off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.

2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Bawtry concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
