We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Preston Park and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with lender to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

If duplicates can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your premises.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Preston Park?
Conveyancing - in Preston Park or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects before you move in.
