My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Bishopston and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Bishopston is more expensive?

This is due to the additional time required in corresponding with the freeholder and management company to collate the evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

I am the registered owner of a 2 bed flat in Bishopston, conveyancing formalities finalised December 2009. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Bishopston with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2095
You have 69 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
