My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Bedford Park and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they understand 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.
Are all Bedford Park Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Barclays are being problematic. The Bedford Park solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I've digested plenty 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 Bedford Park solicitor - who is on the TSB conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB 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. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Bedford Park postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Bedford Park.

My husband and I have today had a bid accepted on our 1st home in Bedford Park, and need to get solicitors appointed. We have used the various rating tools and the fee estimates are from all across the country. Is it critical to have a Bedford Park lawyer local to our prospective property? I am willing to do everything over email, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to attend the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign documents?
The property lawyer does not need to be in Bedford Park, but choosing local means that you have the option to visit their offices if you need to, by way of example, if a signature is needed urgently.
