I am nearing an exchange on a property in Wirral and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, 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 disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required 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 lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I just bought a house at auction in Wirral. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Having for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should instruct a conveyancing solicitor soon as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property. All auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the legal pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You must pass this on to the solicitor instructed by you as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Wirral. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Wirral?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I am buying a property in Wirral. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to TSB where a lease does not meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Wirral.
I'm buying my first flat in Wirral with a mortgage from Halifax. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it would impact my mortgage with Halifax. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Wirral I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wirral in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they 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 lawyer regarding this matter.
