I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Gosforth. The Gosforth property was put into my name in November. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. 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." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
I have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Gosforth. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Aldermore?
You must advise Aldermore before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Aldermore will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.

I have been pointed in your direction by three or four local estate agents in Gosforth to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of another?

Nearly all residences in Gosforth should show up. Have you attempted a search with simply the postcode. Normally it should reveal all the residences inside that postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s bank.
