My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Maida Vale and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. 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 necessary for him to raise this?
