I happen to be the single recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in South Harrow. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause principally exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
