We are buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Fulwood and Elston who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

I'm the single recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Fulwood and Elston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA.

The owners have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Fulwood and Elston. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with HSBC started?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Fulwood and Elston conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the HSBC approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Fulwood and Elston concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
