I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Haverhill. The Haverhill property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this provision is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
