Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brackley

I am nearing an exchange on a flat in Brackley and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

The solicitor is obliged to clarify with the bank to ensure that they know 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.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Brackley? Is this really necessary?

Brackley conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Bank Statement no more than three months).

Confirmation of source of monies is also required under the money laundering statutes as conveyancers are mandated to ensure that the money you are using to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase price if you are buying mortgage free) has come from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of illegitimate activity.

I am considering applying for a UBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Brackley with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for UBS ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Brackley. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these alterations are allowed?

Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Brackley can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of changes or require the consent of another owner. Many works call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Brackley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My sealed bid on a house in Brackley has been accepted, the vendors do however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Brackley. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Brackley conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Brackley.
