We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Whimple and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. 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 advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

Your solicitor is duty bound to clarify with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Whimple?

Conveyancing - in Whimple or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects prior to you complete your move.
