The two can provide the legal services that required to complete the disposal or purchase of property.

I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Ampthill. The Ampthill property was put into my name in January. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook instructs solicitors 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. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Ampthill I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ampthill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
