Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Skegness

My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Skegness and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this 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 this now to hold matters up?

Your conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Should lawyers ask for an advanced payment for my conveyancing in Skegness?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Skegness your lawyer will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the purchase price then this should be needed immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a few days ahead of the completion date.

I am selling my apartment in Skegness. Will my property lawyer need to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

I am buying my first flat in Skegness benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.
