If this becomes an issue, it will happen later when your solicitor checks deposit source. Halifax delegates this to the solicitor and hardly ever does these checks itself.

I'm nervy now! I have a deposit from my partners parents which has already been transferred to my account, letter from them stating it's a gift. I did inform Halifax and they said this was fine - should I still worry this could be rejected on this factor?
The problem for Firefly is that his wife is not going to be on the mortgage.
Santander won't have it.
