Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Petersfield who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I try and find an alternative property lawyer?

My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Petersfield and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, 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 disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The solicitor is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Petersfield. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Petersfield
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
