I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Poole. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the property.

Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."
