My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Bozeat and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed 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 coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your property lawyer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company 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 lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
