I'm the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in St Leonards On Sea. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
