My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a property in Caergwrle and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We note that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Caergwrle?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Caergwrle.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a Caergwrle based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank to explore if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Caergwrle.
I am purchasing my first flat in Caergwrle with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
