We opted for a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Hucknall yesterday. Upon checking the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are responsible for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or choose an on-line solicitor practice promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Hucknall?

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Hucknall. The Hucknall property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Hucknall. My financial adviser suggested a lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £175. Soon after, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Hucknall is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
