I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Armthorpe. The Armthorpe property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

Registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
