My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Aughton and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised 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 coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
The conveyancer is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My apartment in Aughton is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the solicitor have to be required to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.
We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Aughton. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to determine if these works were previously refused?
Your solicitor should review the deeds as conveyancing in Aughton can on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of changes or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Some additions require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Is it correct that all Aughton CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Santander conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
We were going to get a DIP from Clydesdale this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Aughton solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Aughton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

I today plan to offer on a house that appears to meet my requirements, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have subsequently found out that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Aughton. Conveyancing advisers have are about to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Aughton are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Aughton in which case you should be looking for a Aughton conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a leaseholder you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the landlord’sconsent to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your solicitor will appraise you on the various issues.

I am Googling for Aughton conveyancing quotes online. Can I be assured that all the Aughton practices that are identified on your website are on the bank conveyancing panel?
The law firms listed on our site have advised us that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Aughton conveyancing solicitor being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
