I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bamber Bridge. The Bamber Bridge property was put into my name in July. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
