I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Leconfield. The Leconfield property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I own a leasehold flat in Leconfield. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Leconfield who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Leconfield conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
