My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Cubitt Town and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, 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 mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to check with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We are selling our home in Cubitt Town and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cubitt Town. Having lived in Cubitt Town for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Cubitt Town for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Cubitt Town conveyancing specialists.

There are only 68 years remaining on my flat in Cubitt Town. I need to get lease extension but my landlord is can not be found. What are my options?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. In some cases an enquiry agent should be useful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Cubitt Town.
