I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Quorn and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required 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 reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
