We are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Tonteg and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender 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 mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
Your solicitor is duty bound to check with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Tonteg and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end.
