My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Bramley and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my bank. 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 advised the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand 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.
We are downsizing from our property in Bramley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Bramley lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bramley. We have lived in Bramley for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
