A bit of advice regarding proof of deposit for solicitors

Danny174nw

Me and my partner are in the process of obtaining a mortgage..

we were gifted a £15,000 from her mum and dad which was from partners grandmothers estate. 

Along with usual gifted deposit letter 

We have provided my partners bank statements showing the money coming in to her account, and her parents account showing the money going out. Her parents also provided a bank statement with the initial transaction from the solicitors going into their account and also a letter from solicitors confirming amount to be paid.

However this does not seem to enough as they are now questioning other transactions in her account which we are not using for our deposit, 

one is £5000 gift to help towards our wedding and another £1500 from my mum also to help towards our wedding.

Does this sound like normal practice when trying to prove proof of deposit?

Thanks Daniel

Normal practice. Simple notes explaining the inward payments as you have mentioned will be suffice.

Good luck

Thanks for your reply, I did think that may be enough. We’ll get the letters sent out and hopefully that should do it.. fingers crossed
