I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Waltham Abbey. The Waltham Abbey property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as usual given that all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
