I am getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Ombersley and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancer is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
When will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Ombersley and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ombersley you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return.

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ombersley come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed.

Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended.
