We are approaching an exchange on a house in Rothwell and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
