My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Flamborough and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
How up to date is your search tool for Flamborough conveyancing solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Do Clydesdale send you an updated list?

I am helping my niece sell her flat in Flamborough. Does the conveyancer arrange an energy assessment or it is for the seller to coordinate?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates remained a compulsory part of moving property. An energy assessment should be to hand before the property is placed on the market. This is not something that law firms normally arrange. Where you are using a Flamborough conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable Flamborough energy assessors
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Flamborough. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Flamborough?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Flamborough. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being pedantic. The Flamborough solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale 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 a renovated Georgian house in Flamborough. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 Flamborough and other areas of 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 situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Flamborough. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Flamborough - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
