I'm the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cambourne. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
