I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in North Harrow. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Planning on purchasing a house in North Harrow. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the North Harrow property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I can't really find anything else in North Harrow suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
