My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Church End and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this 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 mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Church End , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Church End conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Church End registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Church End differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Church End come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Church End usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Church End or who has acted in the same development.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
