I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Cefn Mawr and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, 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 regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is duty bound to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to be perfect, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have just found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Cefn Mawr. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Cefn Mawr ?
The majority of houses in Cefn Mawr are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Cefn Mawr so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Cefn Mawr conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the freeholder’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer should report to you on the legal implications.
