My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Horley and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your property lawyer is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Horley. I need to find out whether they are on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you advise?
The first thing to do is call the solicitor and ask them whether they can act for the bank. Alternatively you should call Norwich and Peterborough Building Society who may be able to confirm.
I'm buying a new build house in Horley with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
