Finally the sale completed on my house in Oughtibridge last October but the buyer keeps whats apping daily complaining that her solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

Please help - my lawyer says that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Oughtibridge?

I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Oughtibridge. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers 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. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

How does conveyancing in Oughtibridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Oughtibridge come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Oughtibridge usually buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Oughtibridge or who has acted in the same development.
