I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Lowestoft. The Lowestoft property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook requires 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 may be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

Our sealed bid on a detached house in Lowestoft has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Lowestoft. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Lowestoft conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to proceed with searches.

How does conveyancing in Lowestoft differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Lowestoft come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Lowestoft typically purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Lowestoft or who has acted in the same development.
