I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Downe. The Downe property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML 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 mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I purchased my house on 10 April and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Downe expressed confidence that it would be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Downe particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Downe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
