My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Tisbury and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

It’s unusual for properties in Tisbury and has limited impact for conveyancing in Tisbury but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

I have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Tisbury. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?

You must advise Yorkshire BS before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Tisbury I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tisbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
