My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Buckhurst Hill and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer 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 coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company regarding 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 check with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
