The housing market in Wantage is heating up. What can I do to expedite matters?
Where you are under a tight deadline to complete it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local contacts and knowledge. It is possible that they could have handled otherhomes in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Wantage conveyancing firm. Second, make sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is understood that 18% of Wantage conveyancing transactions are suspended or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is claimed that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Many Wantage conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
I am selling my flat in Wantage. Will my conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
