We are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Bestwood and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is legally required to clarify with lender to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required part of selling a house.

If you are using a Bestwood conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable Bestwood providers
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Bestwood off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

The mortgage over my property is with Bank of Ireland for my property in Bestwood. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
You must advise Bank of Ireland prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor.
