I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Arnold. The Arnold property was put into my name in January. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges 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 might be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
RBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Arnold has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancer's details (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up RBS or your financial adviser and finalise any appropriate forms. RBS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. RBS will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Arnold.

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Arnold.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Arnold is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Arnold are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Arnold you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Arnold may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
