Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Colindale

My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Colindale and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. 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 concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

The lawyer is duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

What makes a Colindale lease problematic?

Leasehold conveyancing in Colindale is not unique. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the premises

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Yorkshire Building Society, Coventry Building Society, and Bank of Ireland all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
