The number and type of Acle conveyancing searches should be triggered based entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the area and risks, your general attitude to risk.

I'm the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Acle. The Acle property was put into my name in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs 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 impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this clause primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
