I am approaching an exchange on a house in Finedon and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is duty bound to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important advice you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Finedon?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Finedon or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. For example, the seller, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Finedon is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a definite emergence of a "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
