I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Allenton. The Allenton property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Allenton I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Allenton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
