I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed 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?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Belgravia.

A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Belgravia. Having lived in Belgravia for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
