My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Shenley Church End and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is legally required to clarify 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 notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
