My partner and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Great Missenden and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We previously appointed solicitors based in Great Missenden on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Great Missenden lawyer. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
We were going to get a DIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Great Missenden solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Great Missenden solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Principality are being a right pain. The Great Missenden solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.
