I am nearing an exchange on a flat in Derby and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, 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 bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is obliged to check with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Completed the sale of my flat in Derby last November but my buyer keeps Skype messaging daily to say their conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor is committed to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks specific conveyancing in Derby.
Are the BSA intent on creating a online directory to list solicitors on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Derby?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.
I'm buying my first flat in Derby with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.
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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
