I am getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Manor Park and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% 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 lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The solicitor is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they know 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.
When will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Manor Park and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Manor Park you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Manor Park)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Manor Park conveyancing practitioners have been chosen. How long does it take for UBS to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS completed the survey? Have you advised UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am buying a property in Manor Park. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?
Given that your lender is Santander your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Santander where a lease does not meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Manor Park.
I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Manor Park for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Manor Park conveyancing specialists.
I am buying a new build house in Manor Park benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
