We are nearing an exchange on a property in Clapham and Salph End and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, 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 lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
The lawyer is legally required to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Clapham and Salph End. I have a mortgage agreed with Nationwide. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Clapham and Salph End agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Clapham and Salph End. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Clapham and Salph End conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Clapham and Salph End.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Clapham and Salph End. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual given that all rents and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
