We are approaching an exchange on a property in Saltash and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The solicitor is duty bound to clarify with the bank 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 mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
