The fee calculation e-mailed to me of £550 has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a bog-standard refinance.

My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Muxton and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property 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 coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
