My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Dartmouth Park and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?

Your property lawyer is obliged to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Virgin Money, do Dartmouth Park conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Dartmouth Park conveyancing solicitors are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale done the valuation? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Dartmouth Park. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nottingham?

Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel lawyer.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Dartmouth Park. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as usual because all rents and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
