My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Cinderford and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The solicitor is duty bound to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Cinderford what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Cinderford
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Cinderford or throughout Gloucestershire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, selling agent and sometimes a lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Cinderford should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

The property agent will want to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list).

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Cinderford.
My sealed bid on a semi in Cinderford has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Cinderford. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Principality going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Cinderford conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Principality approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold house in Cinderford. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995.

My plan is to acquire a garden apartment in Cinderford. Conveyancing solicitor has been waiting for, from the seller, building insurance schedule.

Is it strictly required? We have been waiting for the previous fortnight…
