I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Leytonstone. The Leytonstone property was put into my name in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
