My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Market Drayton and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The property lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in Market Drayton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Market Drayton approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Market Drayton usually acquire the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Market Drayton or who has acted in the same development.
