My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Halkyn and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The solicitor 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 bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I bought my house on 3 May and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Halkyn said it will be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Halkyn uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Halkyn registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Halkyn I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Halkyn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
