I am approaching an exchange on a property in Sydenham and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, 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 concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
