Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brigg

My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a property in Brigg 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 disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?

The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
