Gifted deposit and family support guidance.
Plan UK mortgage cases where a deposit is supported by family, overseas funds or a source-of-funds trail that needs to be explained clearly.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Family help is common, but evidence still matters.
A family-supported deposit can make a home purchase more realistic, but lenders and conveyancers still need a clear explanation of where the money came from and whether it is a gift, loan or something more complex.
This page brings gifted-deposit and family-support content together with deposit tools so users can prepare the evidence before the process becomes urgent.
