I am the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Nailsea. The Nailsea property was put into my name in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in July.
