Yes, many buyers in Cambridge use gifted deposits to get a mortgage.
This means a family member gives you money towards your deposit without expecting repayment.
For example, a parent might gift £20,000 to help with a 10% deposit on a £200,000 home.
As long as the money is a true gift and the paperwork confirms this, most lenders will accept it.
A mortgage broker in Cambridge, like ourselves, can check which lenders support this and help prepare everything the lender needs.
If you’re buying a home in Cambridge with a gifted deposit, most lenders will want the funds to come from a close family member, accepted relationships often include:
The gift must be unconditional and supported by a signed declaration.
Our mortgage advisors in Cambridge can check whether your deposit setup is acceptable and help with the paperwork.
A gifted deposit is unlikely to affect your mortgage offer, as long as it’s declared correctly.
Lenders in Cambridge are used to seeing this type of support, especially for first time buyers.
They’ll just need confirmation that the funds are a gift and not tied to any repayment terms.
Mortgage advice in Cambridge can help ensure this is all handled at the right time, with the correct documents in place.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.
