I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Ingleby Barwick. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 may be affected by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.
