My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Charlbury and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is obliged to clarify with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
we are a couple who wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Charlbury with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We have a Charlbury conveyancing solicitor but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society says his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
