We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Finningley and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in Finningley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Finningley come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Finningley typically acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Finningley or who has acted in the same development.
