I'm the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Ranmoor. The Ranmoor property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?
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 might be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.
Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold flat in Ranmoor. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Ranmoor who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Ranmoor conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
