I am approaching an exchange on a house in Cross Keys and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, 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 regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
