Having sold my house in Bedmond last January but the buyer keeps whats apping daily to moan that her solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Bedmond. The Bedmond property was put into my name in November. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires 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 lender as this obligation is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We previously selected solicitors with offices in Bedmond on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Aldermore but by your Bedmond conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold house in Bedmond. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Bedmond who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Bedmond conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Bedmond, conveyancing formalities finalised 7 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Bedmond with an extended lease are worth £176,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2105
With 80 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
