I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Walton on the Hill. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 could be impacted by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
My wife and I have a terraced Georgian property in Walton on the Hill. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review 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 Walton on the Hill and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
