My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Ringwood and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company 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 mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Are the Ringwood conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Clydesdale?
Ringwood conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Clydesdale directly.
Just bought a terraced house in Ringwood , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Ringwood conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration is addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Ringwood registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Ringwood differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ringwood approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Ringwood typically buy the site, 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 Ringwood or who has acted in the same development.

New build sellers have suggested I use a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought an estimate from them. It's almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my family Ringwood solicitor. Should I use them?
Developers often have lists of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s paperwork and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they want exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should keep with your local Ringwood solicitor.
