I am approaching an exchange on a property in Oldland and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my . I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, 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 disclosed to the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
