I'm the single recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Barmouth. The Barmouth property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires 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 affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Barmouth I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Barmouth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
