How up to date is your search tool for Potswood conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Do Coventry BS send you an updated list?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Potswood. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Potswood?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Leeds Building Society, do Potswood property lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

I am buying my first flat in Potswood benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with National Westminster 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%.

I am an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a bungalow in Potswood which is to be marketed. The bungalow has never been registered at HMLR and I'm told that many EAs will insist that it is in place before they'll move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
