I'm the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Gresford. The Gresford property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

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.

Please note that where the lease has fewer than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the residence for a couple of years before you are legally able to extend the lease. Make sure you find out if there are any onerous prohibitions in the lease. By way of example it is fairly common in Gresford leases that pets are not permitted in certain buildings in Gresford.
