I'm the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Messingham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs 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. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

About to purchase flat in Messingham.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Messingham lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Messingham ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to give a loan on such a home.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Messingham - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title.
