I happen to be the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Ilfracombe. The Ilfracombe property was put into my name in September. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

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 could be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
