We are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Barnes and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?

Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Should our conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Barnes.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Barnes. There are those who acquire a property in Barnes, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Barnes. The standard information given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the owner to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim stemming from an misleading answer. A purchaser’s solicitors should also conduct an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be carried out.

About to purchase a new build flat in Barnes. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Barnes

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

Am I right to be concerned about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Barnes conveyancing practice?

As is the case with many service providers, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward solicitors to use. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that some lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
