My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Preston Park 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 make a notification 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 disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
