I am the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Harrogate. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers 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. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Harrogate I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Harrogate in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

My fiance and I have recently had an offer accepted on a house and had an appointment on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will be subject to an a further fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to select a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested Leeds Building Society to provide me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
