Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Kendal. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Kendal?

I am the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Kendal. The Kendal property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

I own a leasehold flat in Kendal. Conveyancing was completed in 2009. I have read on a number of advice forums that I mustn’t let the the remaining lease term to get too short. Is this correct?

Kendal leasehold properties are for a fixed period - usually 99 years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Kendal were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years left to run. That may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally require leases to have a minimum of 75 years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To increase the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
