We are approaching an exchange on a house in Charing Cross and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Charing Cross
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
