I am the sole recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cricklade. The Cricklade property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges 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 could be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
