We are nearing an exchange on a property in Irchester and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. 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 lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
