I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Droylsden. The Droylsden property was put into my name in November. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
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." Technically you might be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this obligation is primarily there to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.

The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Droylsden. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Droylsden conveyancing search fees, etc).

How does conveyancing in Droylsden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Droylsden approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Droylsden typically acquire the land, 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 Droylsden or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently bought a leasehold house in Droylsden. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
