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 Felling and Pelaw. The Felling and Pelaw property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires 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 might be caught by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
is it true that all Felling and Pelaw solicitor practices on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be overseen by the CLC.

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.
Should I be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Felling and Pelaw conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest conveyancers to use. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.

I want to rent out my leasehold flat in Felling and Pelaw. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Even though your last Felling and Pelaw conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to seek permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
