Now that you are legally bound yourself to purchase you must instruct a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the purchase. An auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal pack. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer requires.

I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Little Hulton. The Little Hulton property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 might be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is principally there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
The mortgage over my property is with Santander for my property in Little Hulton. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Santander?
Santander must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Santander will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. You need not do this via a Santander conveyancing panel lawyer.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Little Hulton garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Little Hulton conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Little Hulton do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
