About to place an offer on a leasehold flat in Llanfyrnach. The selling agents advise that it is normal for flats in Llanfyrnach to have less than 75 years remaining. I am taking out a mortgage with The Mortgage Works. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 70 years to go.

I'm the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Llanfyrnach. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in August.

The sellers have offered on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Llanfyrnach. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Llanfyrnach conveyancing search costs, etc).
