My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Brinsworth and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The property lawyer is obliged to check with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
How does conveyancing in Brinsworth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Brinsworth approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Brinsworth usually acquire the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Brinsworth or who has acted in the same development.

I can't really find anything else in Brinsworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
