We are approaching an exchange on a flat in Clapham and Salph End and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, 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 about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
