My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Alvaston and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this 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 advised the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Alvaston from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Alvaston can be avoided if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a new share certificate can be a lengthy formality and delays many a Alvaston conveyancing deal. Where a new share is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unsettled. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing. Some Alvaston leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers.
