My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Chapel Allerton and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. 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 mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your solicitor is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Chapel Allerton. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Chapel Allerton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I'm the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Chapel Allerton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement chiefly exists to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
Is it the case that all Chapel Allerton conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

What are the charges for lease extension conveyancing? How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation?
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Chapel Allerton, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Chapel Allerton with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2082
With just 57 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £28,500 and £33,000 plus legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
At last I have had an offer on an maisonette in Chapel Allerton accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing lawyer in Chapel Allerton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Barclays going with Barclays?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Chapel Allerton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Chapel Allerton.
