I am nearing an exchange on a house in Winchcombe and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. 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 mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Winchcombe I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Winchcombe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
