My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Rawcliffe and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

My wife and I may need to rent out our Rawcliffe garden flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Rawcliffe conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Rawcliffe do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Rawcliffe, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?
