My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Bromborough and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification 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 disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The conveyancer is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

My fiance and I wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Bromborough with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Bromborough conveyancing lawyer but Godiva Mortgages Ltd says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd
