My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Newport Pagnell and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The solicitor is legally required to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
