I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Hartburn. The Hartburn property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs 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. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this provision is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Hartburn to find Conveyancing in Hartburn in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the whole property - which is definitely preferable. You should double check with your conveyancing practitioner but it would seem that your property lawyer is looking to verify that the entire building is insured.
