I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Cherry Burton. The Cherry Burton property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates 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 may be caught by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
