We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Watton and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender.

Your solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

We were going to get a DIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Watton solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Watton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Watton on 7/3/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
