I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Kirkby in Ashfield. The Kirkby in Ashfield property was put into my name in September. I want to move. 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 September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this clause is chiefly there to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
