My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Little Bromwich and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
