My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Shipston on Stour and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. 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 this now to be an issue?
Your solicitor is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
