My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Wincanton and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

The property lawyer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware 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.
