I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Low Moor. The Low Moor property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. 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. many banks would take a practical view as this provision principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
