I am the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Heaton Moor. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires 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 mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
