I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Northwich. The Northwich property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many banks would take a practical view as this provision is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
