My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Ringwood and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

Your conveyancer is legally required to clarify with lender 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 lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Ringwood property lawyer on the UBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your UBS mortgage has been paid off.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Ringwood. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Not long after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Our offer on a semi in Ringwood has been accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Ringwood. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Ringwood conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Ringwood.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that could affect a commercial land in Ringwood?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Ringwood will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Ringwood. The search result provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Ringwood.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Ringwood it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may result in delays to Ringwood commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Ringwood.

I have recentlybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Ringwood for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Ringwood conveyancing specialists.

How do I use your search tool to choose a conveyancing lawyer in Ringwood on the authorised to act for my bank?
