My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Westhoughton and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required 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 reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Westhoughton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Westhoughton. Having lived in Westhoughton for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

The conveyancing solicitors conducting our conveyancing in Westhoughton has sent papers to review that state the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all properties in Westhoughton should be registered?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Westhoughton are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Westhoughton that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Westhoughton property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Westhoughton conveyancing practitioners will be able to handle this type of conveyancing but where uncertainty prevails the conventional proposition presently is for the vendor’s solicitor to register it first and thereafter deal with the transfer to the buyer - this will predictably result in a significant delay.
