My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Barrow Upon Soar and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, 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 bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Santander as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Barrow Upon Soar. Are we obliged to choose a local Barrow Upon Soar solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

About to purchase flat in Barrow Upon Soar.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Barrow Upon Soar conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Barrow Upon Soar lawyer having made sure that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey.

It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
