I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Frenchay. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML 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 might be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Frenchay with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
