My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Bootle and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
