I am the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Brunswick Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Brunswick Park. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Brunswick Park.
I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Brunswick Park conveyancing practitioner on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The house builders rep told me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with Clydesdale. Is this normal?.
