Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Pevensey Bay but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a reduction in the price.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Pevensey Bay. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges 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 sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
About to purchase house in Pevensey Bay.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Pevensey Bay property lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Pevensey Bay where we see a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Pevensey Bay conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
