I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Scunthorpe. The Scunthorpe property was put into my name in January. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges 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 could be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

I have just started marketing my garden flat in Scunthorpe. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
