I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Witney. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires solicitors 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. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this provision primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
