My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Wem and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

I only have 62 years left on my lease in Wem. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to find the landlord. On the whole an enquiry agent would be useful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Wem.

It is not absolutely necessary to update the register providing you have the proof required to show how the name change resulted.
Any purchaser’s conveyancer should check the title information and requisition evidence by way of proof of the name change for instance marriage documentation.
