My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Stilton and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
The conveyancer is obliged to clarify with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Stilton you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically.

Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stilton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
