I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Amersham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
We previously selected conveyancers locally in Amersham on the Principality solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further charge for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Principality?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Principality but by your Amersham property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Principality panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.

After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent.

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Amersham took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Amersham with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires.

This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord.

It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Amersham.
