I am approaching an exchange on a house in Worsley and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The solicitor is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I'm buying a new build house in Worsley with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with The Mortgage Works. 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Worsley is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Worsley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Worsley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Worsley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
