My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Tregaron and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The solicitor is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Having sold my house in Tregaron last June yet the purchaser is SMS messaging every few hours to say his solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your conveyancer is obliged to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your conveyancer should also confirm that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Tregaron.
We are downsizing from our home in Tregaron and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tregaron. We have lived in Tregaron for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Tregaron differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tregaron approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Tregaron typically acquire the land, 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 Tregaron or who has acted in the same development.
