Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Haywards Heath

I am getting closer to an exchange on a house in Haywards Heath and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?

Your conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Haywards Heath. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

About to purchase flat in Haywards Heath. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Haywards Heath property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
