I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Worcester Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I am expecting a OIP from Skipton this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Worcester Park I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Worcester Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
