My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Bamburgh and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

Your conveyancer is obliged to check with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bamburgh registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
