My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Navenby. Our aim is to convert the garage to an office at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property include enquiries to see if these alterations are allowed?

Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Navenby will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Some works require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Navenby. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated 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 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 may be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
