I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Atherstone. The Atherstone property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."
