I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Tiptree. The Tiptree property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
