I am approaching an exchange on a house in Ewloe and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I have a renovated Victorian house in Ewloe. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ewloe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
