I am nearing an exchange on a house in Llanwrda and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, 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 informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The property lawyer is duty bound to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Aldermore Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Llanwrda?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Will my solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Llanwrda.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Llanwrda. There are those who buy a property in Llanwrda, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Llanwrda. The standard information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the seller to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect response. The buyer’s lawyers may also commission an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Llanwrda with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will affect my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
