I am the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Harlow. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. 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 impacted by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this provision is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

One month into buying a residence in Harlow. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this make a difference on our Santander valuation?
Harlow conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a material impact on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease to be supplied to your solicitor.
