Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
