I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Brough. The Brough property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this provision is chiefly there to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
