Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Putney Vale

We are nearing an exchange on a property in Putney Vale and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
