I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Denton. The Denton property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision chiefly exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Denton solicitor on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Denton I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Denton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
