I am considering applying for a Coventry BS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Sandhurst with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Coventry BS ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Coventry BS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

A friend informed me that in purchasing a property in Sandhurst there could be various restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Sandhurst which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Sandhurst should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

My conveyancer has informed me that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Sandhurst conveyancing?

The appropriate level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

Intending to buy a flat in Sandhurst. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton 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 Sandhurst solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
