I am getting closer to an exchange on a house in East Oxford and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your property lawyer is duty bound to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
