My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Wincanton and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my 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 bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in Wincanton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wincanton contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Wincanton typically 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 conveyancers 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 Wincanton or who has acted in the same development.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Wincanton being more expensive?
Acquiring a new build home is completely different from the standard house buying conveyancing in Wincanton. For a start sellers usually insist contracts to exchange very quickly, so there is a lot of pressure on your lawyer to ensure everything is in order. In addition new build properties often involve the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Lenders requirements are also more demanding. Due to the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
