I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Mickleover. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.

Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer.

Are TSB entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
