I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Lloyds. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Hedon. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Hedon and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancer is obliged to check with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
