I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Baguley. The Baguley property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
When it comes to lenders such as Nationwide, do Baguley solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am expecting a AIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Baguley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
