I am the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Betws Y Coed. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers 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 caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
