My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Gants Hill and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

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