My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Halewood and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Halewood conveyancing practitioners are appointed. How long does it take for TSB to forward the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB done the survey? Have you advised TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Halewood off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Halewood bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Halewood conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The solicitor has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
