I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in New Waltham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
