My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Carlisle and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

Your conveyancer is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Carlisle took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.

Does the lease have onerous restrictions?

The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the lessees have control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often retained if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders.

If purchasing a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
