I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Dalton in Furness. The Dalton in Furness property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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 could be caught by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this obligation principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Dalton in Furness solicitor - who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Dalton in Furness surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
