We are approaching an exchange on a flat in Nuneaton and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. 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 advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancer is obliged to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand 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.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Nuneaton costs more?
The conveyancing fees for a leasehold premises in Nuneaton is frequently more expensive when contrasted to a freehold property. This is due to the supplemental time necessary in dealing with the landlord and management company to obtain evidence about whether the rent and service charges have been cleared and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
How do I investigate if the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Nuneaton is on the mortgage lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Skipton Building Society thus paying £192.00 in another set of legal bill.

Do I need to be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Nuneaton conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all recommend lawyers to select. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Nuneaton
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Nuneaton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
