My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Forestdale and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

Your property lawyer is legally required to check 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 notify this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Forestdale - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.

For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
