We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Leeds and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

Your property lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand 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.
