We are approaching an exchange on a property in Bromborough and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Bromborough last March yet the purchaser is e-mailing me to moan that her lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?

Where relevant, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Bromborough.
My fiance and I intend to purchase a newbuild apartment in Bromborough with a loan from National Westminster Bank.We have a Bromborough conveyancing practitioner but National Westminster Bank says he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a National Westminster Bank panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the National Westminster Bank solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank
