My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Hackney Wick and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, 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 advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancing practitioner 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. The solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Hackney Wick benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.
