I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Hackney Marshes. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
We were going to get a AIP from Skipton this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Hackney Marshes solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Hackney Marshes solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Hackney Marshes I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Hackney Marshes in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hackney Marshes. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Hackney Marshes - 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.
