My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Mexborough and Swinton and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I am assisting my sister sell her property in Mexborough and Swinton. Does the solicitor arrange the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Mexborough and Swinton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Mexborough and Swinton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

Please supply a car parking plan. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Do I need to be suspicious that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing company?
As with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may put forward solicitors to retain. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that most banks specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
