I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Lyddington and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my . I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?

Your is duty bound to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Lyddington. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Lyddington

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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Lyddington I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Lyddington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Am I better off to appoint a Lyddington conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal formalities however his firm is located over three hundred kilometers away.

The benefit of a local Lyddington conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Lyddington know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were happy that should trump using an unknown Lyddington conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
