I am approaching an exchange on a property in Rhosesmor and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am downsizing from our house in Rhosesmor and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Rhosesmor. We have lived in Rhosesmor for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I'm purchasing my first flat in Rhosesmor with a loan from HSBC Bank. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with HSBC Bank. Should I keep quiet?.
