My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Brading and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor 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 informed the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to check with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
As someone not used to conveyancing in Brading what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the home moving process in Brading
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Brading or throughout Isle Of Wight is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction.

Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Brading is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your lawyer ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
