I am approaching an exchange on a flat in Atherstone and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. 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 advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
