I am being advised by my lawyer that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Lyneham?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Lyneham. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Lyneham solicitor - who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Lyneham surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Lyneham 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
You no longer need to hold title official documentation to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Lyneham with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would impact my mortgage 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.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Lyneham
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Lyneham conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
