I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in South Croydon. The South Croydon property was put into my name in September. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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 caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

About to purchase maisonette in South Croydon.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the South Croydon property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I'm buying my first flat in South Croydon with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
