I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Havant and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Havant
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Havant conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by head office.
