I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Rufford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
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." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision chiefly exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Rufford. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Rufford.

There is not much else in Rufford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
