This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Billesdon. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Billesdon. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Billesdon. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs 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 caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
