I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Whissendine. The Whissendine property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges 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 could be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

How does conveyancing in Whissendine differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Whissendine come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Whissendine tend to buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Whissendine or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Whissendine I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whissendine suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
