I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Duxford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
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 might be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Duxford building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend.

The conveyancer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

How does conveyancing in Duxford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Duxford come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Duxford 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 conveyancers 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 Duxford or who has acted in the same development.
