My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Chesham Bois and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
