I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Flamborough. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the house.

Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Flamborough I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Flamborough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 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 current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
