I am the single recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Willerby. The Willerby property was put into my name in February. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs 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 might be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Willerby conveyancer on the UBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
