My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Tynemouth and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor 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 advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The lawyer is obliged to clarify with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by RBS but by your Tynemouth conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Flying freeholds in Tynemouth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.
