I am the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in New Waltham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. 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 might be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this obligation is principally there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I have been pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in New Waltham to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
