I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bloxham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Bloxham I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bloxham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the disposal of our £425,000 maisonette in Bloxham next Wednesday.

Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Bloxham?
Bloxham conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes usually necessitates the purchaser’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to address.

The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the charge is technically not due.
