I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Arlesey. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
