I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Newhaven. The Newhaven property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I am expecting a DIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Newhaven solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Newhaven solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
I'm at the point of looking at flats in Newhaven and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Santander.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Santander, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
