I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Lower Clapton. The Lower Clapton property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates 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 could be affected by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this requirement primarily exists to capture subsales or the flipping of property.
