I am approaching an exchange on a house in Mexborough and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification 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 informed the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

The solicitor is duty bound to clarify with the bank 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 bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Mexborough completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Mexborough from the point of view of expediting the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Mexborough can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
  • You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your solicitors. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Mexborough conveyancing deal. Where a new share is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing.
