I am being told by my solicitor that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kentish Town conveyancing?

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Kentish Town. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
We previously instructed solicitors located in Kentish Town on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by UBS but by your Kentish Town conveyancer. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
