We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Rossendale and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

Your lawyer is obliged to clarify with the bank to ensure that they understand 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 permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Rossendale?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Rossendale and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion the lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Rossendale is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a potential adversary will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My brother has suggested that I appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Rossendale. Should I choose my own conveyancer?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Rossendale conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the solicitor you're contemplating using.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Rossendale. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
