I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Old Woking. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement principally exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I am buying a property in Old Woking. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Old Woking.
My partner and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Old Woking and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I am planning to take a mortgage with TSB.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

New build sellers have suggested I use a conveyancing practitioner and I've obtained an estimate from them. They are almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my family Old Woking conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Housebuilders normally have panels of solicitors who are quick and who know the seller’s contract and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to use a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests at the risk of alienating the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Old Woking conveyancing practitioner.
