We are only a couple days away from an exchange and my mum and dad having transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender Paragon Mortgages. Apparently, being on the Paragon Mortgages conveyancing panel and acting on their behalf he must inform Paragon Mortgages if the balance of the mortgage advance is not just from me.

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

My ex -wife’s name is on the Paragon Mortgages mortgage of my property but not on the land registry. The apartment was transferred to me on our divorce many years ago by way of a sealed court order. Does my ex still have a say on the sale even though the land registry showing the property in my name alone? Will I be required to take her name of the Paragon Mortgages mortgage in order to sell?
As regards the Paragon Mortgages mortgage, it is unusual that your ex-wife’s name remains on the mortgage but not on the title. It is conceivable that this is an oversight on the part of your conveyancers to ensure that her name was removed or even an administrative error on the part of Paragon Mortgages in failing to update their data. In any event, it should cause difficulty providing her name no longer appears on the Land Registry title and you have a court order ordering that the property is transferred to you.
