We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the TSB conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our conveyancing in Hedge End and Botley?

I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Hedge End and Botley. The Hedge End and Botley property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. 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. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Can I be sure that the Hedge End and Botley conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Hedge End and Botley
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Hedge End and Botley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
