Own outright - raising a mortgage

Hello
This is my first ever post so forgive me if I ramble on!!
I will soon own a property outright & need to know how long I have to wait until I can get a mortgage on this property?
Would this be called a remortgage?
Any help would be appreciated

    It's a remortgage of an unencumbered property.

    Some lenders will expect you to own the property six months, others won't.

    A broker will assist in establishing who to approach and who to avoid.

    How are you obtaining the property?

    if an inheritance from an estate you should be able mortgage as part of the transfer and avoid any 6 month rules.

    Do you need a mortgage to repay your parents?
