My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Saltney and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your solicitor 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. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
