I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in South Croydon. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move.

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 might be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this requirement chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
