I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Turnpike Lane. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs 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 might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Turnpike Lane from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Turnpike Lane can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ lawyers. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Turnpike Lane state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Should you dont have the paperwork in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer first. A minority of Turnpike Lane leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Turnpike Lane levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Turnpike Lane. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unresolved. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing.
