Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barnes

My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a property in Barnes and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. 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 lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
