What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kirkby in Ashfield? Why is this being asked of me?

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Kirkby in Ashfield. The Kirkby in Ashfield property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. 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 could be impacted by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Kirkby in Ashfield building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Kirkby in Ashfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancer is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank.

We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being pedantic. The Kirkby in Ashfield solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Kirkby in Ashfield and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kirkby in Ashfield. We have lived in Kirkby in Ashfield for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
