We are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Treharris and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The property 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 funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
As someone with no idea as to the Treharris conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Treharris
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Treharris and elsewhere in Merthyr Tydfil is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, estate agent and even potentially the bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Treharris should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a worrying increase of a "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of all other parties in the home moving process.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Treharris?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you want the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank to see if they offer you a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Treharris.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Treharris house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Treharris.
I opted to have a survey done on a property in Treharris before retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may not issue a mortgage on such a house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Treharris. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
