I am the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Mevagissey. The Mevagissey property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March.

How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
