I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Flint. The Flint property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

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. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Flint bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Flint conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the solicitor is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Our offer on a semi in Flint has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Flint. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Flint conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Flint.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to be perfect, at a great price which is making it all the more appealing. I have since found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Flint. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Flint are freehold and not leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Flint in which case you should be shopping around for a Flint conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Flint, conveyancing having been completed in 2008. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Flint with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2087

With just 62 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

I am buying a flat mortgage free. My lawyer has been handed with two distinct proof of photo ID, bank statement, numerous utility bills. Now he requires a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the money is in place and that it has come from inheritance and not dealing E's in Ibiza.
