My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a property in Upper Clapton and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform 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 appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The lawyer is legally required to check with lender to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

The closing balance that is needed should be transferred a few days ahead of the completion date.
My apartment in Upper Clapton is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my property lawyer have to be required to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.
