I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Belbroughton.

I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."
