We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Avonmouth conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Avonmouth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. many banks would take a practical view as this provision is principally there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We were going to get a AIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Avonmouth solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Avonmouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is in excess of £800.
