We are approaching an exchange on a property in Ystrad Mynach and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform 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 home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Ystrad Mynach conveyancing lawyers were appointed. How long does it take for Santander to send the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander done the valuation? Have you informed Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Ystrad Mynach conveyancing practitioner on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
How does conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ystrad Mynach approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Ystrad Mynach typically buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach or who has acted in the same development.
