My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Ireleth and Askam and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is obliged to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I have todaydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Ireleth and Askam for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the premises 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 Ireleth and Askam conveyancing specialists.
I am buying my first flat in Ireleth and Askam with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could affect my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Ireleth and Askam I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ireleth and Askam in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
