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 Market Deeping. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this requirement is primarily there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.

I am purchasing my first flat in Market Deeping with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
