My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Irthlingborough and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your property lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
