My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Fawley and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
Your conveyancer is obliged to clarify with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
