We are nearing an exchange on a house in Rainham Kent and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?

The solicitor is obliged to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rainham Kent registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Rainham Kent is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Rainham Kent are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rainham Kent you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rainham Kent 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 residence.
