My financial adviser requires my Hungerford solicitor’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Hungerford branch but they have not got back to me yet.

Have you tried contacting your Hungerford property lawyer about this?. Most Hungerford law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Hungerford and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?

Your property lawyer is obliged to check with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
