My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Brimsdown and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your lawyer 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 reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Brimsdown. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Brimsdown - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Having spent months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Brimsdown. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
