My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a house in England Springs and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Do I need to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in England Springs so that I can pop in to their offices if required.
Nowadays conveyancing panel lawyers for banks conduct their work through Royal Mail, internet or over the phone.
