I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Barry Island. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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 caught by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
