Are the BSA planning on creating a searchable register to list law firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Mancot?

My conveyancer has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Mancot?
The appropriate level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Mancot. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors 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 affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We had selected conveyancers based in Mancot on the HSBC solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by HSBC but by your Mancot solicitor. Plenty of firms on the HSBC panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Mancot will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Mancot. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Mancot.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Mancot it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Mancot.
