I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Thorpe St Andrew. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML 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. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is chiefly there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
My offer was accepted on a house in Thorpe St Andrew on 13/8/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Are Bank of Ireland entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My wife and I have a renovated Edwardian property in Thorpe St Andrew. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Thorpe St Andrew and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Thorpe St Andrew is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Thorpe St Andrew are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Thorpe St Andrew you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
