I am the single recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Cilcain. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I now wish to sell up.

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
