I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Pontllanfraith. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

I work for a long established estate agent office in Pontllanfraith where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Pontllanfraith conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as 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. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. 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 disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.
