My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Great Coates and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your property lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Last January I purchased a leasehold property in Great Coates. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Are there any major works on the horizon that will likely increase the service charges?
