I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Lansbury. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers 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. many lenders would take a practical view as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Lansbury on the HSBC solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by HSBC but by your Lansbury property lawyer. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Lansbury. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £150.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays 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.
