I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Crowle. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Crowle. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £225.

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 HSBC 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.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Crowle conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
