I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Burnopfield. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. 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."

I am short of a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Burnopfield , but I am anxious go ahead. Do I have options?

You can accept a lower deposit. Most property owners will agree to a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
