I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Melton Mowbray. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
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 affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Melton Mowbray solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

I am purchasing my first flat in Melton Mowbray benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.
