We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Saffron Walden and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is duty bound to check with the bank 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 lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
