I am considering remortgaging my apartment in Kidwelly, does my lawyer have to be on the Principality Solicitor panel?

I have been told by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Kidwelly?

I'm the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Kidwelly. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this clause is principally there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
