I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Putney Vale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation primarily exists to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
