I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Ferryhill. The Ferryhill property was put into my name in May. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Ferryhill. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would as all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
