I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Hampton Hill. The Hampton Hill property was put into my name in January. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. 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 could be affected by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this obligation is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

When it comes to lenders such as Virgin Money, do Hampton Hill property lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

Is it the case that all Hampton Hill conveyancing solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
