HELP - Mortgage Issue

Hello everybody
Frequent reader but never posted before but I have a problem and hope that somebody can help:
Found a house we love,
Met mortgage broker who got us a mortgage in principle with Halifax, Offer accepted at £122,000 (sale going through at £128,500 thus giving us a 5% vendor gift deposit, we have the other £6,500 saved already)
4 weeks later Halifax have turned round and said that we need an extra 5% deposit.
We do not have anywhere near another £6,500 available and are now stuck in a small flat with a baby on the way in November already with our nearly 3 year old son.
Is there anyone out there that knows any 95% mortgages and/or anyone who does vendor gifted deposits other than Halifax?
Other than that what would people advise in general?
Thanks for your help in advance
