I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Brigg. The Brigg property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
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 could be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

How does conveyancing in Brigg differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Brigg contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Brigg tend to buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Brigg or who has acted in the same development.
