I can't imagine it's a hard rule though so long as you can show that you came about having the money legitimately in the last 6 months. If it's a hard rule, then you might have to go elsewhere.
Yes that's what I imagine, we'll see I guess. Looking for "dirty conveyancing" wasn't what I imagined at all.

Each conveyancing firm has their own guidelines I imagine. Some likely to be more firm than others, depending on how recently they have been audited or had a slap on the wrist.
When buying our first flat, my Dad gave me £5k. When the solicitor asked where that came from, I follishly followed my mortgage advisors advice and said it was my Dad repaying a loan to me. Then then tore apart his bank details asking why he had borrowed £5k when he had more money than me. But that nearly held up the whole thing.
