I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Attleborough. The Attleborough property was put into my name in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. Most lenders would take a practical view as this requirement is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Attleborough completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Attleborough is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Attleborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Attleborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Attleborough may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
