I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bardsley. The Bardsley property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

By the strict wording you might be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

How does conveyancing in Bardsley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bardsley contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Bardsley typically acquire 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bardsley or who has acted in the same development.
