My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Paignton and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this 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 disclosed to the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
The lawyer is duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they know 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'm purchasing a new build house in Paignton with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will affect my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.

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.
Am in the process of purchasing my first property in Paignton. Conveyancing practitioner has been chosen. The broker pointed out that a survey is not necessary as the property was only built in 1997.
You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was built more than a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any apparent problems and suggest further investigation if relevant. Where there are any indications of problems seek a full structural survey.
