My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Comberton and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Comberton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

They would need to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you must advise them of the replacement solicitor and ensure the loan are re-sent. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added fees and complications. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.

I own a leasehold flat in Comberton. Conveyancing and Santander mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Comberton who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Comberton conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Comberton - Sample of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing
-
For many Comberton leaseholds the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Comberton require leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for major repairs or maintenance. Does the lease contain onerous restrictions? Is the freehold reversion owned jointly by the tenants?
Why can I not complete my conveyancing in Comberton on May bank holiday?
Because on completion the money needs to pass between the banks of the buyer and seller's solicitor and currently this can only happen on a working day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
