We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Baguley and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
When will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Baguley and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Baguley you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Baguley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Baguley garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Baguley conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Baguley do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
