Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Heckmondwike is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Heckmondwike conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
We are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Heckmondwike and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this 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 mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is obliged 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 mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
