I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Ackworth. The Ackworth property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. 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 might be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Ackworth. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
You must advise Bank of Ireland prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor.
