I am nearing an exchange on a flat in Gomersal and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The solicitor is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am purchasing a new build house in Gomersal benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
