I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Townhill and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner 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 bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Townhill? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to provide identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to act for you.
What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Townhill?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

About to purchase house in Townhill.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Townhill I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Townhill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
