Deposit on exchange

I'm a FTB exchanging on my house next week, and the statement I've just received from my solicitor has confused me. It requires less than the 10% of the house price. I do have a help to buy ISA bonus but I didn't think this was taken off the deposit at exchange? And even with this being the case, the amount requested doesn't make sense to me when taking into account the fees of my solicitor.
Can anyone try and shed some light?

    Your best bet would be to ask your solicitor, if they have itemised it and the total doesn't seem right maybe there will be a second invoice for the rest or possibly just a mistake when they've typed it up.
