My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Calstock and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The solicitor is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

The closing balance that is needed will be payable a few days prior to the day of completion.
