My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Winchmore Hill and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?

The lawyer is obliged to check with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Skipton Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Winchmore Hill?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
