I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Brewood. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers 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. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this clause principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
Is it the case that all Brewood solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

I have a terraced Edwardian property in Brewood. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Godiva Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Brewood and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
