Moving house - would a family member's gift affect my LCWRA if it goes through a solicitor?

We currently own our own house (mortgaged) I get LCWRA and high rate disability for 2 of our 3 children. We are looking to sell our home and move in to a bigger house with a family member gifting us £100,000 towards it which will go straight into the house all through the solicitors so the money wouldn’t touch our bank. How would this work being on UC? The house would be solely in mine and my husbands name. The reason we want to do this is for extra support for our family at home. Thank you
