After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Burnage or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Burnage.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Burnage. The Burnage property was put into my name in November. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

I purchased a renovated Victorian house in Burnage. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Burnage and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

I am buying a new build house in Burnage with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it could affect my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
