I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Ware. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs 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 caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this obligation principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
