I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Lower Morden. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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 could be impacted by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Lower Morden I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Lower Morden for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
