We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Tottenham Hale and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

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

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Tottenham Hale. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barclays Direct.

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Tottenham Hale and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Tottenham Hale. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Tottenham Hale - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. 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.
