We are nearing an exchange on a house in Hurst and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they are aware 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 put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hurst is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Hurst are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hurst you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hurst may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Swansea but live in Hurst. My solicitor (based 250 miles awayrequires that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Hurst to attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Hurst based
I am in the process of buying my first home in Hurst. Conveyancing practitioner has been selected. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only built in 2001.
The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is more than ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent problems and suggest additional investigation where relevant. If there are any signs of material issues seek a comprehensive structural survey.
