I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Parkwood Springs. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this clause primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
How can we know in advance if a Parkwood Springs conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Parkwood Springs building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend.

As long as the property lawyer is on the lender panel, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Parkwood Springs with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Parkwood Springs is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Parkwood Springs are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Parkwood Springs you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Parkwood Springs may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
