My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Nunhead and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, 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 bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

Your conveyancer is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

My wife and I are purchasing a house in Nunhead. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Nunhead. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

Can you point me to a directory of Co-operative panel solicitors in Nunhead on the Building Society Association’s Website?

My financial adviser has recommended their conveyancer for the conveyancing in Nunhead - Is it not simpler advisable to just use them?

It is not always the case and you are at liberty to instruct whichever conveyancer of your choosing for your Nunhead home move. A conveyancer recommended by a 3rd party adviser may not always be the right solicitor, they may recommend their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your solicitor and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
