I happen to be the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Charmouth. The Charmouth property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML 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 caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
My wife and I are spending time looking at flats in Charmouth and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I am planning to take a home loan with Leeds Building Society.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to meet my requirements, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
We are about to complete buying a property in Charmouth but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the seller of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my bank will not permit this. Why were they involved?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on the mortgage company approved list is required to disclose to the lender of any changes to the sale figure. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to your lender then they would have to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
