My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Droitwich and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify 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 reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian property in Droitwich. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Droitwich and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
