I am the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Ruddington. The Ruddington property was put into my name in June. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is primarily there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

Some major banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

I am purchasing my first flat in Ruddington with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

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.
