My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Northampton and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
Your property lawyer is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in Northampton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Northampton approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Northampton usually purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Northampton or who has acted in the same development.
