We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Winsford and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
