My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Leominster and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is legally required 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 mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Leominster conveyancing practitioners were chosen. How long does it take for Skipton to send the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton conducted the survey? Have you informed Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Leominster. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nationwide?
Nationwide must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel lawyer.
