My fiance and I are acquiring an apartment in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. My lawyer is not listed on the bank solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Llanfairpwllgwyngyll conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You will need to have a conveyancer to deal with the formalities when you take out a loan to buy your property. The property lawyer will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could instruct a Llanfairpwllgwyngyll solicitor of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel further fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should do so.

I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
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." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nationwide, do Llanfairpwllgwyngyll property lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

The mortgage over my property is with Nottingham for my property in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nottingham?
You must advise Nottingham before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nottingham will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor.
