Gifted deposits
It can be difficult for clients to get onto the property ladder without some help from family and friends. A gifted deposit might help your clients put down a larger deposit so they can buy their dream home or access lower interest rates. Our criteria is simple.
- Gifted deposits accepted at any LTV.
- The person providing the gift doesn't have to be a family member.
- The person providing the gift can't plan to live in your client's new home.
- If the deposit is coming from the seller, it must be through an acceptable new build incentive from the builder or developer.
- The gift shouldn't be repayable to the person giving the gift.
Where a gifted deposit is used, please give us the following details in the application:
- Title and full name of person(s) providing the gift.
- Relationship to client.
- Occupation of the person providing the gift.
- Gift amount.
- How has the giftor generated the funds?
- Country of origin.
- Confirmation that the gift is non-repayable.
- Confirmation that the person(s) providing the gift:
- isn't the present owner of the property being purchased, and
- won't be living in the property on or after completion, and
- won't retain any legal interest in the property being purchased (including taking a second charge).
For gifted deposit applications where the funds are received from abroad, there are some additional requirements we may ask for to evidence the deposit.
