I am the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Langland. The Langland property was put into my name in August. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges 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. Most lenders would take a practical view as this obligation is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading response. A purchaser’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.
