Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Farringdon

I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Farringdon. The Farringdon property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook obliges 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. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register.

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