I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Fitzrovia. The Fitzrovia property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors 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 impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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 Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Aldermore mortgage has been paid off.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Fitzrovia

It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Fitzrovia conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
