Find a Lender-Approved Local Conveyancer in Isle of Dogs

We are nearing an exchange on a property in Isle of Dogs and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?

Your property lawyer 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 resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, 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 a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Isle of Dogs is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.
