My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Cardigan and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this 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 mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is legally required to check with lender to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
