I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in North Ockendon. The North Ockendon property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers 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 affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

You will need to appoint North Ockendon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
