I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Long Buckby. The Long Buckby property was put into my name in September. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors 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. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
