I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Wombwell. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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.
