Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Wood Green will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or require the permission of a 3rd party.

I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Wood Green. The Wood Green property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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 may be affected by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
