We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Epworth and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. 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 informed the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is legally required to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Epworth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Epworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Epworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Epworth agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have submitted an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Epworth. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is standard to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Epworth conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the UBS approved list. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.
