My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Seaton Sluice and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise 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 mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The conveyancing practitioner 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. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Seaton Sluice. We have lived in Seaton Sluice for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Seaton Sluice for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Seaton Sluice conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Seaton Sluice differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Seaton Sluice come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Seaton Sluice usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Seaton Sluice or who has acted in the same development.
