I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years built) in Bishops Cleeve. Almost all the properties have already been sold. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Bishops Cleeve?
You would be taking a significant risk in failing carrying out Bishops Cleeve conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. Where speed and cost are top of your concerns you should discuss with your lawyer about the options such as contingency insurance available to you

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bishops Cleeve. The Bishops Cleeve property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is primarily there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
