I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Cambridgeshire. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is chiefly there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Can you point me to a directory of Santander panel conveyancers in Cambridgeshire on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Cambridgeshire. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Cambridgeshire lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I'm buying a new build house in Cambridgeshire benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it will affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
