I am getting closer to an exchange on a property in Edingale and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Edingale. The Edingale property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause principally exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nottingham are being pedantic. The Edingale solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have instructed a Edingale property lawyer having checked that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Edingale postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Edingale.
I used Action Conveyancing several years ago for my conveyancing in Edingale. I now require my file however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Edingale I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Edingale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Edingale and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Edingale. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Edingale area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

We have AIP from Platform Home Loans Ltd who said that they will loan up to £350k. At what point do I need to appoint a solicitor for conveyancing? Edingale is where we are buying.
You can appoint a lawyer now requesting that they generate a file for you. This will trigger: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memorandum to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s conveyancer to submit the draft contract. However, do not instruct your solicitor to order searches until you have your valuation report from Platform Home Loans Ltd and you are willing to move forward.
