My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Holmrook and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, 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 lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
