We are nearing an exchange on a house in Manningtree and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
