I am the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Pontyclun. The Pontyclun property was put into my name in November. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My offer was accepted on a property in Pontyclun on 13/10/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Are Aldermore entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
