I am getting closer to an exchange on a house in Haywards Heath and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this 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 disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
