I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Croxley Green. The Croxley Green property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
