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

The property lawyer is legally required to check with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
