I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Saltney. The Saltney property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook mandates 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 may be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
