We are approaching an exchange on a flat in Tenbury Wells and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification 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 not just from me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with the bank 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 lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
