I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Burwell. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that.
