We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Dursley and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
