My mortgage broker says he needs my Nelson lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Nelson office but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Nelson property lawyer . They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
I am nearing an exchange on a property in Nelson and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, 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 mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

What will a local search reveal about the property we're purchasing in Nelson?
Nelson conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search plays a central role in most Nelson conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search will provide 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 13 topic sections.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Nelson I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Nelson suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Nelson
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Nelson conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
