I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bexhill. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

As your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Bexhill.

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 Bexhill solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I own a terraced Victorian property in Bexhill. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bexhill and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

I have just started marketing my basement flat in Bexhill. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance payments will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
