I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Edith Weston. The Edith Weston property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

How does conveyancing in Edith Weston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Edith Weston approach 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 Edith Weston usually buy 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 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 Edith Weston or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Edith Weston I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Edith Weston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
