I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Wendover. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this clause principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
