My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a property in Tiptree and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
