I am the single recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Dawley and Lawley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates 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 could be affected by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this provision is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.

I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Dawley and Lawley solicitor - who is on the Principality conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Dawley and Lawley surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Dawley and Lawley is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Dawley and Lawley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dawley and Lawley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dawley and Lawley may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Am I right to be suspicious by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Dawley and Lawley conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward lawyers to appoint. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most banks specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
