I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Kempston and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Kempston?

The closing balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Kempston?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Kempston. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Do I need to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Kempston conveyancing company?
As with many service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward conveyancers to appoint. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that many lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
