My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Laceby and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, 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 about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The solicitor is obliged to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I'm in the process of looking at flats in Laceby and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with HSBC.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Laceby building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Laceby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
