I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Blaenavon. The Blaenavon property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 may be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

How does conveyancing in Blaenavon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Blaenavon contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Blaenavon typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Blaenavon or who has acted in the same development.
