We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Quorn and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification 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 disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your solicitor is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Having spent time reading consumer advice sites for a conveyancing lawyer in Quorn, many post that I should look for a CQS kitemarked lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?

Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * compliance with best practice conveyancing procedures through the scheme protocol Membership includes numerous companies who handle conveyancing in Quorn.
I am purchasing a new build house in Quorn with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.

Many Quorn leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service charge for maintenance of the block invoiced by the landlord. If you purchase the property you will have to pay this amount, usually periodically throughout the year. This can be anything from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge to be met annual, ordinarily this is not a significant amount, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds. Is anyone aware of any major works anticipated that will add a premium to the service fees? The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this scenario the leaseholders enjoy control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is frequently employed where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
