My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Dunholme and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my bank. 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 advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your property lawyer is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Dunholme.
