My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Farringdon and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told 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 not just from me. I informed the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The solicitor is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Farringdon?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Farringdon and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Farringdon should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a definite creep of a "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your solicitor ahead of all other parties in the home moving process.
How does conveyancing in Farringdon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Farringdon come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Farringdon typically acquire the land, 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 Farringdon or who has acted in the same development.
