My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Cimla and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
