I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bidford On Avon. The Bidford On Avon property was put into my name in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML 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 impacted by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

Our sealed bid on a detached house in Bidford On Avon has been accepted, the sellers do however have a connected purchase.

What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Bidford On Avon conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
