Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Lyneham?
If you are buying a property in Lyneham your solicitor will ask you place them with monies to cover the search fees. Normally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the sale price then this should be asked for immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days prior to the day of completion.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Lyneham?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the bank and check if they make available a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Lyneham.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Lyneham before retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Lyneham. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as usual given that all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Please inform me if there are any major works in the planning that will likely add a premium to the service costs? The best form of lease structure is where the freehold reversion is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the lessees benefit from being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be built into the service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Lyneham ask leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works.
