My solicitor has informed me that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Walmley conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Walmley. The Walmley property was put into my name in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

The primary upside of using a high street Walmley conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Walmley conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
