Much to our surprise we have been told by our financial adviser that my St Davids lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to call your St Davids conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a St Davids conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in St Davids and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company 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 home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in St Davids? What am I being asked for?
