Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Chiseldon. Can you please clarify why all Chiseldon solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This led to mortgage companies removing less reputable firms off their panel of approved lawyers .

I am buying a new build house in Chiseldon benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Chiseldon. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as normal given that all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
