I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Ardwick. The Ardwick property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges 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 may be affected by that. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Ardwick with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Ardwick can be avoided where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ representatives. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Ardwick charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Ardwick. Some Ardwick leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a replacement share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Ardwick conveyancing deal. If a duplicate share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later.
