We are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Hathern and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, 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 bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your property lawyer is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in Hathern differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hathern contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Hathern usually buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Hathern or who has acted in the same development.
