I'm the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Lyndhurst. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
