I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Haywards Heath. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Haywards Heath. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Haywards Heath 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

You no longer need to hold title deeds to prove you own the land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

I am in the process of purchasing my 1st home in Haywards Heath. Conveyancing solicitor has been appointed. The broker pointed out that a survey is not needed as the property was only constructed twenty two years ago.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is more than ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend further investigation where relevant. If there are any signs of material issues obtain a full structural survey.
