Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
Your solicitor is obliged to check with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
