I happen to be the single recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Higham Wood. The Higham Wood property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook obliges 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 might be affected by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
