This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Whaley Bridge. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Whaley Bridge?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Whaley Bridge. The Whaley Bridge property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

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." Technically you may be caught by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

About to purchase flat in Whaley Bridge.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
