Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Norwood

I am getting closer to an exchange on a house in West Norwood and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

The property lawyer is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in West Norwood differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in West Norwood approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in West Norwood typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in West Norwood or who has acted in the same development.
