I'm the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Irthlingborough. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
