My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in St Leonards On Sea and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in St Leonards On Sea 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I’m about to sell my garden apartment in St Leonards On Sea.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon however I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
