I have just started taking steps with a view to swapping over from my existing standard mortgage to a Buy to Let Coventry Building Society mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a solicitor for this. I spoke to my former Purton conveyancing solicitor who who conducted the conveyancing when I first acquired the house.

I have miscalculated my finances and am a few grand short a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Purton , but I am keen exchange. What can I do?
One option is to try and accept a lower deposit. Most vendors will agree to a smaller 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
