I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Ponders End. The Ponders End 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', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
