My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Penge and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?

The conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

When will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Penge and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?

If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Penge you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Penge)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Penge?

You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you take up the "fee-free" offer. Contact the lender to check if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Penge.

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian house in Penge. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Penge and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

About to purchase a new build flat in Penge. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Penge

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
