proof of deposit

Would appreciate your feedback on this dilemma.

We have a 15% (£50K) deposit for our impending house purchase.

I have bank statements to show we have the full deposit value in ISAs.

My partner has just over £5k worth of Euros, which was given to him by his folks last year, sitting in his RoI bank account.

Can we use the ISA statements as evidence of our deposit but use the Euros (exchanged into £s) as part of the deposit and keep an ISA back in its tax wrapper. So the deposit value is the exact same but the payment is taken from a different source of our savings.

Would appreciate any feedback to see where this idea might fall on its backside

Thanks, MIB

    why not just show the bank statement with the euro in it as part of the proof?

    Is it as simple as that? Wouldn't it be seen as a gifted deposit from his parents and will need to letters/evidence of where they got it from etc.
