I am the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in West Kirby. The West Kirby property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March.

The purchaser’s conveyancers will also order an environmental search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.
