I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Hengoed. The Hengoed property was put into my name in January. I want to move. 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. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this provision chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

My wife and I are in the process of looking at houses in Hengoed and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Yorkshire BS.

It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
