I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Watnall. The Watnall property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement principally exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.

There is not much else in Watnall for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could 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 consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
