What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?

There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 requirements. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Bucknall.

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bucknall. The Bucknall property was put into my name in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 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 CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is chiefly there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
