I'm the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Irthlingborough. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers 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 lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

The purchaser’s lawyers should also conduct an enviro search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.

Most buyers of new build residence in Irthlingborough approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Irthlingborough tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.
