I happen to be the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Frimley. The Frimley property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
