I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a North Kensington based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you take up the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the mortgage company to explore if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near North Kensington.

I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in North Kensington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

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 might be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

I'm spending time viewing apartments in North Kensington and I am about to put in an offer. Is it best to have my conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Coventry BS.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a North Kensington lawyer on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Principality mortgage has been paid off.
