I am approaching an exchange on a property in Gamston and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, 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 home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
