I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Horley. The Horley property was put into my name in September. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML 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 could be caught by that.

How does conveyancing in Horley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Horley come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Horley typically acquire 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 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 Horley or who has acted in the same development.
