I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Wooburn Green. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March.

I have no idea who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the bank.

We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
