I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Ponders End and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender about 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 duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
