Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Edgware who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The quote is fractionally on the high side. If you you were to look around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT.

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Edgware. The Edgware property was put into my name in June. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. 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 affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Edgware conveyancing solicitors are appointed. How long does it take for Principality to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality done the valuation? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

My mum and dad are unable to locate their Edgware property on the HMLR website. They recall that sixty years ago when they acquired the property there were complications regarding the post code not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all premises in Edgware should be revealed. Have you attempted a search to simply the postcode. Usually it should reveal all the premises within the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought sixty years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
