I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Stanstead Abbotts. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires 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 may be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

I am buying a property in Stanstead Abbotts. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nottingham be concerned?
Given that your lender is Nottingham your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Stanstead Abbotts.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Stanstead Abbotts I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Stanstead Abbotts for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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.
