My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Crook and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, 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 informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The lawyer is obliged to check with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

About to purchase flat in Crook. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Crook conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Crook I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Crook in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
