I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Peckham. The Peckham property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. 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 could be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
