I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Newark. The Newark property was put into my name in June. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs 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 affected by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this requirement is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply.
