I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Frampton on Severn. The Frampton on Severn property was put into my name in June. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors 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. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
Is it the case that all Frampton on Severn solicitor practices on the UBS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Frampton on Severn basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Frampton on Severn conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your last Frampton on Severn conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed.

The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
