I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bryn Y Baal. The Bryn Y Baal property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
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."

How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
