I happen to be the sole recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Farnworth. The Farnworth property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers 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. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Farnworth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Farnworth property lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
