Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Harold Park. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Harold Park?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Harold Park. The Harold Park property was put into my name in September. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality conducted the survey? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
