I am approaching an exchange on a property in Bovey Tracey and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, 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 mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
At what point will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Bovey Tracey and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Bovey Tracey you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bovey Tracey)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I own a semi-detached Edwardian property in Bovey Tracey. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bovey Tracey and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I am buying a new build house in Bovey Tracey with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML 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.
