I am approaching an exchange on a house in Mobberley and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, 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 disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My wife and I are buying a flat in Mobberley. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a garden flat in Mobberley. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Mobberley?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Mobberley. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Mobberley bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Mobberley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Mobberley took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Mobberley I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Mobberley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
