We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a Henbury based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the lender and see if they make available a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Henbury.
I'm the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Henbury. The Henbury property was put into my name in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in November. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs 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 may be affected by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.

We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Henbury building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Henbury conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Henbury concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 asset 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.
How does conveyancing in Henbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Henbury contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Henbury usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Henbury or who has acted in the same development.
