You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer.

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Great Sankey. The Great Sankey property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges 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 may be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this provision primarily exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Great Sankey conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
