My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Nafferton and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The conveyancer is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Nafferton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is principally there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.
