I am nearing an exchange on a house in Greenford and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company 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 appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is legally required to check with lender to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

My wife and I own a renovated Georgian house in Greenford. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Greenford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
