I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Henley On Thames. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the property.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires 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 could be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement primarily exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
