I am nearing an exchange on a property in Haywards Heath and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is duty bound to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am expecting a DIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Haywards Heath solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Haywards Heath solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Haywards Heath. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Haywards Heath. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Haywards Heath property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
