I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Shepherd's Bush. The Shepherd's Bush property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
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 caught by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
I am expecting a DIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Shepherd's Bush solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Shepherd's Bush solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Shepherd's Bush. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I'm buying my first flat in Shepherd's Bush benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

-
Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the building
You may have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Barclays , Bank of Scotland, and Nottingham Building Society all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
