I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Darwen. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

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 Darwen property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
