We are approaching an exchange on a flat in Bampton and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
As a first time buyer what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart about purchase conveyancing in Bampton?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Bampton or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Bampton an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bampton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
