I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Rowlands Gill and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
