I am the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Dagenham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers 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. Most banks would take a sensible view as this clause is principally there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Dagenham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Dagenham.
I have paid off my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Dagenham lawyer on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your RBS 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 RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, 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 RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold flat in Dagenham. Conveyancing and Barnsley Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Dagenham who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
First contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Dagenham conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
