My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Frimley and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?

The conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
