I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Upton Upon Severn. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

I own a semi-detached Victorian house in Upton Upon Severn. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Chelsea Building Society.

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease.

It is not completely unheard of in Upton Upon Severn and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Upton Upon Severn I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Upton Upon Severn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can 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 current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
