My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Sands End and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancer 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 resources. The solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

This is because builders in Sands End typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly.
