I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Woodhouse and Handsworth and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
