The fact that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Kings Langley. The Kings Langley property was put into my name in January. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML 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 impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
