First, If the seller is applying pressure to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and knowledge.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Heaton Moor. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this provision is primarily there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

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

Most buyers of new build premises in Heaton Moor approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Heaton Moor typically 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 used to new build conveyancing in Heaton Moor or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Heaton Moor is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Heaton Moor are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Heaton Moor you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Heaton Moor may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
