I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Waltham Cross. The Waltham Cross property was put into my name in July. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
