We are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Saxilby and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
The solicitor is duty bound to check with lender to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Saxilby with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I was recommended by numerous property agents in Saxilby to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
