My partner and I are approaching an exchange on a property in Tisbury and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding 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 the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Tisbury where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Tisbury conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
