I am approaching an exchange on a property in Shenley Church End and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this 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 coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I have a semi-detached Georgian property in Shenley Church End. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Virgin Money. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Shenley Church End and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Shenley Church End I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Shenley Church End for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

My husband and I may need to let out our Shenley Church End basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Shenley Church End conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Shenley Church End conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
