I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Alrewas. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires solicitors 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 impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Alrewas I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Alrewas for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
