My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Selston and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Selston
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Selston conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors.

is it true that all Selston solicitor firms on the Skipton conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the CLC.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Aldermore as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Selston. Do we need to choose a local Selston solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Aldermore would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

My wife and I plan to purchase our 1st home in Selston. Conveyancing solicitor already chosen. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only built twenty two years ago.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is over 10 years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any apparent problems and recommend further investigation if appropriate. If there are any signs of material issues seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
