I am nearing an exchange on a property in Harold Park and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform 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 mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The lawyer is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to ensure 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 permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Harold Park?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
