How up to date is your database of Lyneham solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Do Coventry BS send you an updated list?

Lyneham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify practices on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for instance in Lyneham?

Lexsure has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.

I am the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Lyneham. The Lyneham property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. 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." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this provision is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

Can you point me to a directory of Virgin Money panel solicitors in Lyneham on the Building Society Association’s Website?

No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings viewable online. If you are seeking to appoint a Lyneham solicitor on the Virgin Money please use our facility.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Coventry BS are being a right pain. The Lyneham solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am purchasing my first flat in Lyneham benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

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.

I have miscalculated my finances and am a couple of grand short a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Lyneham , but I am anxious proceed. What can I do?

One option is to try and accept a lesser deposit. Most sellers will accept a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
