My husband and I are intent on purchasing a ground floor flat in Crofton Park. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Crofton Park conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You will need to use a conveyancer to deal with the formalities when you need a loan to purchase your home. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One can select a Crofton Park solicitor of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel further fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

I am purchasing a new build house in Crofton Park with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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'm refinancing my existing house to a BTL mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd and I will use the rest of the raised equity towards a second property. The area we are talking about is Crofton Park. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the two deals?

I have miscalculated my finances and am a few grand short a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Crofton Park , but I still want to go ahead. Do I have options?
You can agree a smaller deposit. Many sellers will accept a lower 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 second
