Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bloomsbury

My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Bloomsbury and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

Your lawyer is duty bound to clarify with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

  • Complete the deal with your existing Bloomsbury conveyancing practitioner but Nat West Bank will undoubtedly appoint a solicitor from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees and likely interruption.
  • Get a fresh lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Nat West Bank conveyancing panel.
