I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Royton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

How does conveyancing in Royton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Royton contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Royton typically buy the land, 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 Royton or who has acted in the same development.
