Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise the conveyances that do not proceed.

My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Elmers End and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

Your solicitor is obliged to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
