My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in West Wittering and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. 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.

The solicitor is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
