Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Chapeltown conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Chapeltown. The Chapeltown property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Chapeltown I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chapeltown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
