My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Wembley Central and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, 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 conducted the conveyancing in Wembley Central 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

Is it best to go with a Wembley Central conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal work however his firm is located 400kilometers away.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Wembley Central where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Wembley Central conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
Following years of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Wembley Central. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Wembley Central conveyancing firm who can help.
