We are nearing an exchange on a property in Chulmleigh and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The 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. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
