I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Frampton Cotterell. The Frampton Cotterell property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation chiefly exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Frampton Cotterell. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £200. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the TSB 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 TSB 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 am buying my first flat in Frampton Cotterell benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.
