I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Burgess Hill. The Burgess Hill property was put into my name in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
