We are approaching an exchange on a house in Rawdon and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
