My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Longbenton and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. 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 bank. I am advised that, 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 informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
