I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Hanworth. The Hanworth property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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 could be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation primarily exists to identify subsales or the flipping of property.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hanworth is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Hanworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hanworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 residence.

Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
