We are approaching an exchange on a house in Tadcaster and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner 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 coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily organise.
