I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Kirkheaton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.

How does conveyancing in Kirkheaton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Kirkheaton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Kirkheaton typically acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Kirkheaton or who has acted in the same development.
