My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Farnborough and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

Your property lawyer is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Farnborough last January yet the purchaser is calling me to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?

Following your disposal your solicitor should send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where relevant, your lawyer must also evidence that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements specific conveyancing in Farnborough.

I am selling our property in Farnborough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Farnborough. Having lived in Farnborough for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Farnborough. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Farnborough

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

My parents cant seem to find their Farnborough land registry title on the site. They recall that fifty years ago when they acquired the bungalow there were complications with Farnborough not being identified on some systems.

Almost all premises in Farnborough should be revealed. Have you limited your search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it will mention all the premises inside the postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s bank.
