I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in West Haddon. The West Haddon property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Lloyds as we wish to conduct improvements to our property in West Haddon. Do we need to select a local West Haddon solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

I own a leasehold house in West Haddon. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in West Haddon who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a West Haddon conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I inherited a studio flat in West Haddon, conveyancing was carried out in 2011. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in West Haddon with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2099
With just 74 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
