I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Hope. The Hope property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
