I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Penzance and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Penzance I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Penzance for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

How does one remove a departed person's name from the title deeds for a property in Penzance?
Where a Penzance property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a sale you would just be asked to evidence why the joint owner is not a party to the transfer, typically this is in the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing more straight forward in the future you can arrange to have the deceased name removed from the title by applying to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
