My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Messingham and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent 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 advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your lawyer is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender 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 element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Messingham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Messingham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Messingham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Messingham 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 residence.
