I'm the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Charing Cross. The Charing Cross property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in June.
