I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Llandaff North. The Llandaff North property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
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."

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Llandaff North. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Llandaff North property lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Llandaff North concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 premises 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.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Llandaff North with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
