We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Oswaldtwistle and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know 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.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a garden flat in Oswaldtwistle. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Oswaldtwistle?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Oswaldtwistle. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Oswaldtwistle. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this provision primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
About to purchase apartment in Oswaldtwistle. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Oswaldtwistle solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Oswaldtwistle differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Oswaldtwistle contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Oswaldtwistle usually buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Oswaldtwistle or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Oswaldtwistle prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Oswaldtwistle. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
