My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Kingston Vale and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The solicitor 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 disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
How does conveyancing in Kingston Vale differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kingston Vale approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Kingston Vale tend to buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kingston Vale or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Kingston Vale in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Kingston Vale. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
