I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Prestbury. The Prestbury property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs 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 affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is primarily there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Prestbury. Do we need to appoint a local Prestbury solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Coventry BS don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Prestbury. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Shortly after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my aunt I am selling a residence in Monmouth but live in Prestbury.

My wife and I are purchasing a studio flat in Prestbury. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, they assured us that they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they are not on the HSBC approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a different lawyer that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with HSBC selecting their own approved conveyancer.
When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to meet. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should call HSBC to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on HSBC's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Prestbury lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
