I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Norbiton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
