I am acquiring residence in Aintree. My lawyer has never been on on the bank solicitor list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Aintree conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel?
One will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities if you take out a loan to purchase your home. The lawyer will conduct all the appropriate investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One can select a Aintree conveyancer of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the lender approved list further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not previously applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.
My partner and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Aintree and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification 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 disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
Your conveyancer is obliged to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Aintree I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Aintree in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
