I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Thurston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is principally there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Thurston. Do we need to select a local Thurston solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Kent Reliance would not normally appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Thurston I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Thurston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
