My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Sydenham Hill and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?

The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to clarify with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Sydenham Hill for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage company Chelsea Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Sydenham Hill conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 completed a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more data from law firms regarding their operations and their employees and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of transactions. Many Sydenham Hill conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Sydenham Hill is amongst the hundreds of locations where the conveyancers we recommend are are approved Chelsea Building Society.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Sydenham Hill 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title deeds to prove you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Sydenham Hill

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Sydenham Hill conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
