I am approaching an exchange on a flat in Lavenham and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?

The solicitor is obliged to clarify with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

What will a local search tell me concerning the property my wife and I buying in Lavenham?

Lavenham conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations such as Searches UK The local search is essential in every Lavenham conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property. The search will reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Lavenham I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lavenham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Lavenham. I have chance upon a site which appears to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals done via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Online reading suggests that Lavenham solicitors are more expensive than licensed conveyancers in Lavenham to use when purchasing a property. Am I better off using a conveyancer or a solicitor where I am purchasing a property in Lavenham.

When it comes to conveyancing in Lavenham the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
