My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Tenbury Wells and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. 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 lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The solicitor is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Tenbury Wells off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Tenbury Wells I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tenbury Wells in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
