I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Brimsdown.

I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

You should contact TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.
