I have just started taking steps with the intention of switching my domestic mortgage to a Buy to Let Barnsley Building Society mortgage.

The costs estimate provided of £550 has surprised me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you you were to look around you might shave off some of the expense by as much as £125.

I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Heacham. The Heacham property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in July. 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 could be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
