My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Treforest and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer 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 advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in Treforest differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Treforest approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Treforest tend to purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Treforest or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Treforest. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as normal given that all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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.
