I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Kirk Ella. The Kirk Ella property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Kirk Ella both have approximately 50 years left on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
