I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Coniston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this clause principally exists to identify subsales or the flipping of property.

About to purchase flat in Coniston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Coniston lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

My colleague advised me that if I am buying in Coniston I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Coniston conveyancing searches.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Coniston.

I'm buying my first flat in Coniston benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
