I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Brompton. The Brompton property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. 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 affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is chiefly there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
