My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Chopwell and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my bank. 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 about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
