My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Fratton and Portsea and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer 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 informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when purchasing a house in Fratton and Portsea? or I am told that there is historic law that could mean that house owners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Fratton and Portsea?
Unless a prior acquisition of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners delivering conveyancing in Fratton and Portsea to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
How does conveyancing in Fratton and Portsea differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Fratton and Portsea come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Fratton and Portsea typically purchase the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Fratton and Portsea or who has acted in the same development.
