I am being advised by my lawyer that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Anerley conveyancing?

I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Anerley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

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 could be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
