I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Tonteg. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
