I am getting closer to an exchange on a property in Wells and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my . I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, 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 informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

The deeds to my property can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Wells 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Wells is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wells are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wells you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wells may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Wells to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any commission for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
