I am the single recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Cambridge Heath. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause chiefly exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Bank of Ireland mortgage has been paid off.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Cambridge Heath

It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Cambridge Heath conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
