My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Moss Nook and my parents 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 lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
