I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Clare. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

Is it the case that all Clare conveyancing solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

How does conveyancing in Clare differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Clare approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Clare 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 used to new build conveyancing in Clare or who has acted in the same development.

What can I do where I am dissatisfied with the lawyer who carried out our conveyancing in Clare?

Occasionally the level of service you receive is not as you expect, and unfortunately every so often things do go wrong. However there is recourse if you were unhappy with your conveyancing in Clare. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a lawyer to their governing body. If things still aren’t resolved you may consider enlisting the help of the Legal Ombudsman.
