I'm the single recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in St Mawes. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires 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 might be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is primarily there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local St Mawes bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My St Mawes conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Should I be concerned about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local St Mawes conveyancing company?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may recommend conveyancers to use. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
