I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cleator Moor. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

A high street Cleator Moor lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cleator Moor. We have lived in Cleator Moor for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

How does conveyancing in Cleator Moor differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cleator Moor come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Cleator Moor tend to acquire 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 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 Cleator Moor or who has acted in the same development.
