My partner and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Bangor and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The solicitor is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Bangor I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bangor in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

We are in the middle of purchasing a residence in Bangor. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on the marketability of the property?
Bangor conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
