I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Tongwynlais. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors 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 caught by that. Most lenders would take a sensible view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Tongwynlais building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend.

As long as the lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
