My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Truro and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they know 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 permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
