I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Aylestone. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates 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. many lenders would take a practical view as this clause primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Aylestone?
Conveyancing - in Aylestone or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the seller to fix the problems before you move in.
