I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Hingham. The Hingham property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

My wife and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Hingham and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a lawyer appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with RBS.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

As with lots of service providers, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all recommend conveyancers to instruct.
