We are nearing an exchange on a property in Port Clarence and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, 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 necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Port Clarence is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Port Clarence are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Port Clarence you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Port Clarence may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
