I am approaching an exchange on a flat in Sprotbrough and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. 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 bank. Apparently, 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 mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
Your solicitor is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am thinking of refinancing my property in Sprotbrough, does my lawyer have to be on the Yorkshire BS Conveyancing panel?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Sprotbrough 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
As co-executor for the will of my father I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but reside in Sprotbrough. My lawyer (approximately 250 miles awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising.

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Sprotbrough based
