My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Wymondham and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
Your property lawyer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know 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.
We note that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Wymondham?

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Wymondham solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Wymondham. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
Our sealed bid on a semi in Wymondham has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Wymondham. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Wymondham conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with searches.
I need some quick conveyancing in Wymondham as I am under a deadline to exchange contracts in less than 4 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Wymondham , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Wymondham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Wymondham registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
