My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Wick and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this 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 lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
Your property lawyer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
When does exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Wick and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Wick you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Wick)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I happen to be the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Wick. The Wick property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
How can we know in advance if a Wick conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic. The Wick solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
