I am approaching an exchange on a property in East London and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?

The lawyer is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
