I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cann Hall. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges 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 could be caught by that. many banks would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Cann Hall I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cann Hall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. 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 matter.
