My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Uxbridge and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I want to sublet my leasehold flat in Uxbridge. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Notwithstanding that your last Uxbridge conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
