My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Desborough and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

This is not something that lawyers normally arrange. If you are using a Desborough conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established local accredited person
We were going to get a AIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Desborough solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Desborough solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Desborough lawyer on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
