I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Brimsdown. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates 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 impacted by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Brimsdown. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
