I am the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Keyworth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?

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." Technically you may be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Keyworth conveyancer on the Co-operative panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Co-operative mortgage has been paid off.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Keyworth with a loan from Santander. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
