I am the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cleveleys. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house 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 may be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Cleveleys.
