My partner and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Croesyceiliog and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is duty bound to clarify with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I am being told by my solicitor that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Croesyceiliog conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
Can I be sure that the Croesyceiliog conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?

Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Croesyceiliog conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nationwide done the valuation? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

A buyer’s lawyers should also conduct an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be made.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Croesyceiliog with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Croesyceiliog I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Croesyceiliog suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
