My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Upper Clapton and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from 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 hold matters up?
