I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Glossop. The Glossop property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The fee is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Glossop conveyancer. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
