I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
