My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Billingshurst and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The property lawyer is legally required to clarify 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 report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
