I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Corbridge. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook instructs 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. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation principally exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

The house builders rep told me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it could affect my mortgage 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%.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Corbridge in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to issue a loan on this type of premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Corbridge.
