We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Newton Abbot and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Newton Abbot.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Newton Abbot. Some people will buy a property in Newton Abbot, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Newton Abbot. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading response. The purchaser’s lawyers will also commission an enviro search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Newton Abbot I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newton Abbot in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
