I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Wollaston. The Wollaston property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. many banks would take a practical view as this requirement is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Principality as we wish to conduct renovations to our house in Wollaston. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Wollaston solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Principality do not ordinarily appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Wollaston property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Wollaston postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Wollaston.

Just acquired a terraced house in Wollaston , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Wollaston conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Wollaston is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
My husband and I are one month into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Wollaston. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Could you help me find new conveyancers?

In the event that it has you must advise them of the replacement lawyer and ensure the loan are re-issued.

Completion is due on the disposal of our £375,000 flat in Wollaston on Tuesday in a week. The landlords agents has quoted £324 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Wollaston?
Wollaston conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not requires the buyer’s solicitor submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions the majority will be content to assist. They are entitled to levy a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. In reality you have no choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
