I am the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Forestdale. The Forestdale property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Forestdale solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Forestdale. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Forestdale - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
