I am approaching an exchange on a property in Englefield Green and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your solicitor is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the RBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Englefield Green?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

How does conveyancing in Englefield Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Englefield Green approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Englefield Green usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Englefield Green or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Englefield Green is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Englefield Green are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Englefield Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Englefield Green may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
