Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Mapperley. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you must instruct a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I have been told by my solicitor that lack of building regulations insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Mapperley?

I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Mapperley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
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 may be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
