I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
