I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Carisbrooke. The Carisbrooke property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

I have telephoned my Carisbrooke building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend.

As long as the property lawyer is on the bank panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
