I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Rothley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

There is not much else in Rothley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
