is it true that all Deddington solicitor firms on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Deddington and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Barclays.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Barclays, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I am buying my first flat in Deddington with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. 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.

What are the frequently found deficiencies that you see in leases for Deddington properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Deddington is not unique. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
You will encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
