I am approaching an exchange on a property in Barrow In Furness and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The solicitor is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Post completion of your house sale your conveyancer is duty bound to deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Barrow In Furness.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Barrow In Furness completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
