I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Milton Keynes. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
