I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender Cynergy Bank. Apparently, being on the Cynergy Bank conveyancing panel and acting on their behalf he must inform Cynergy Bank if the balance of the mortgage advance is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank about my parent’s contribution when I applied for the mortgage so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
