I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Manor Park. The Manor Park property was put into my name in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook requires 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 might be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I am buying a property in Manor Park. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Manor Park.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Manor Park. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
