I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Uxbridge and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. 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 disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Uxbridge conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel?
Uxbridge conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.
How does conveyancing in Uxbridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Uxbridge approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Uxbridge tend to acquire 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 Uxbridge or who has acted in the same development.

Is it best to instruct a Uxbridge conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal formalities however they are based 400kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Uxbridge conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Uxbridge know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Uxbridge conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
Me and my fiance have just had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Wednesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will incur an extra fee of £200. This is because they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested the Post Office to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
Ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we should be able to find you a solicitor in Uxbridge on the approved list for the Post Office.
