I am getting closer to an exchange on a property in Beckermet and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is duty bound to check with mortgage company 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 mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
