My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in East Coker and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my . I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

Your is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am being told by my conveyancer that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for East Coker conveyancing?

The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between and . Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I am purchasing a property in East Coker. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for . The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and are required to report to where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to East Coker.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, are being pedantic. The East Coker solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why 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.

I am intent on selling our house in East Coker and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in East Coker. We have lived in East Coker for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
