I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Harwell. The Harwell property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
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 affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

There are only 72 years left on my flat in Harwell. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent may be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Harwell.

Many Harwell leasehold properties will incur a service charge for the upkeep of the building levied on behalf of the landlord. If you purchase the property you will have to meet this amount, normally in instalments during the year. This could be anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, normally this is not a significant amount, say about £25-£75 but you need to check it because on occasion it could be prohibitively expensive. Who takes charge for maintaining and repairing the block? How much is the ground rent and service charge?
