We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Snettisham and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told 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 lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to check with lender 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 mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

We're in Snettisham, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Coventry BS , and our solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My wife and I are selling our house in Snettisham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Snettisham conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Snettisham. Having lived in Snettisham for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of 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)
