My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Norbiton and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
