I am getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Bourton on the Water and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Bourton on the Water , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Bourton on the Water conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Bourton on the Water registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Bourton on the Water I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bourton on the Water for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a four bedroom housein Bourton on the Water with a residential mortgage from a lender. We have a conveyancer in Bourton on the Water yet our mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel firms or keep our Bourton on the Water solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Bourton on the Water : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
