It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Hedon. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Hedon relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Hedon. The Hedon property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook instructs 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 affected by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this obligation is principally there to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Hedon. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
Your original mortgage agreement with Clydesdale will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will permit you to let 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 Clydesdale directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel lawyer.

One option is to try and accept a smaller deposit. Most property owners will accept a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
