I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Lynmouth. The Lynmouth property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. 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." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
