I am obtaining a mortgage with Santander. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Ickenham. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Ickenham and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they know 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.
