I am getting closer to an exchange on a house in Robin Hoods Bay and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. 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 informed the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.
