My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Wealdstone and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, 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 advised the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer 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 reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Are Wealdstone conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to supply transparent conveyancing costs?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, represent the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Wealdstone or beyond.
