I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Ruislip. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires solicitors 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 affected by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

How does conveyancing in Ruislip differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ruislip approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Ruislip usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Ruislip or who has acted in the same development.
