We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Leagrave and Chalton and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner 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 disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

The conveyancer is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they are aware 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 agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
