My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in West Wittering and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
The solicitor is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure 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.
I am downsizing from our home in West Wittering and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street West Wittering conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in West Wittering. We have lived in West Wittering for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in West Wittering for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of West Wittering conveyancing specialists.
