My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Llanymynech and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed 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 lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The conveyancer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Llanymynech. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
You must advise Leeds Building Society before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Leeds Building Society will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor.

My son is about to join the property ladder, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. When the offer was accepted on flat we rang the bank to progress the mortgage application. I was very surprised to learn that mortgage lenders do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they need to be on their approved list, is this legal?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Llanymynech property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
