I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in West Green. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. 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." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. many banks would take a practical view as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I am expecting a AIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any West Green solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint West Green solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.

I am buying a new build house in West Green with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it would impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in West Green I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
