I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Woodhall Spa. The Woodhall Spa property was put into my name in November. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in November.
