I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Seven Sisters. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?

How does conveyancing in Seven Sisters differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Seven Sisters come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Seven Sisters tend to purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Seven Sisters or who has acted in the same development.
