I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Enderby. The Enderby property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook requires conveyancers 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. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this provision principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Enderby conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for Skipton to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton done the valuation? Have you advised Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Enderby I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Enderby for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated 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 could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 solicitor about this matter.
