Me and my partner are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Holme On Spalding Moor with a mortgage. We have a Holme On Spalding Moor conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or retain our Holme On Spalding Moor lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Holme On Spalding Moor conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Holme On Spalding Moor and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your property lawyer is obliged to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
