    I think you're complicating things. if I was you, I would simply proceed. when the solicitor asks for the outstanding funds, the missing £8k will be part of that. you transfer the money, that's that. no one will ask for anything...
    Unless they know how much money the OPs mother is giving? If the mother has another £8k in her account I would probably just have her give you more (it will cost you less in fees than it will to I'd check and do the checks on the money for another gifter) and sort it out afterwards. If the mother doesn't have the extra the solicitor is going to wonder where the extra £8k came from and you can use another gifter without informing nationwide.
