I happen to be the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Ilkley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Ilkley I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ilkley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
