We are getting closer to an exchange on a property in North Harrow and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, 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 informed the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The conveyancer is obliged to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in North Harrow differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in North Harrow come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in North Harrow usually acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in North Harrow or who has acted in the same development.
