My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a property in Woodingdean and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your solicitor is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Woodingdean conveyancing solicitors are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland completed the survey? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
My partner and I are at the point of viewing houses in Woodingdean and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Bank of Ireland.
It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA.

We are midway through purchasing a residence in Woodingdean. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect the marketability of the house?
Woodingdean conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the marketability too much.
On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your lawyer.
