My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Manningtree and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me.
