I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Aberaeron. The Aberaeron property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Aberaeron. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £175.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Aberaeron completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
