I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cullercoats. The Cullercoats property was put into my name in February. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

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 may be affected by that.

Principality must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions.
