Using a gifted deposit is a common way to buy a home in Birmingham.
If a family member gives you money to help with your deposit, and they don’t expect it back, most lenders will consider that acceptable.
Take, for instance, someone buying a £250,000 property, a parent might gift £12,500 to cover the 5% deposit.
Lenders usually ask for a signed letter confirming that the money is a gift and that the person giving it has no legal claim to the home.
A mortgage broker in Birmingham, like ourselves, can take care of this paperwork and guide you through the next steps.
Most lenders in Birmingham are happy to accept a gifted deposit from a close relative or someone with a strong relationship to the buyer, this may include:
As long as the gift is non-repayable and clearly documented, many lenders will accept it.
Our mortgage advisors in Birmingham will help ensure the person gifting your deposit meets the lender’s criteria.
Lenders across Birmingham regularly accept gifted deposits, but they do need to see the right paperwork.
You’ll usually be asked for a signed letter and proof of where the funds came from.
These checks won’t affect your approval, as long as everything is clear and provided on time.
Getting mortgage advice in Birmingham will help make sure the gift is declared properly and doesn’t hold up your application.
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.

With access to a wide panel of lenders, we’ll search through a large range of mortgage products.
Whether you’re buying in the city centre or further out, we’ll look for deals that work for your budget and your goals.
Once a deal is agreed, we’ll complete and submit your mortgage application on your behalf.
We’ll handle the admin, stay in touch with the lender, and make sure everything is progressing, so you don’t have to chase for updates.
As part of your journey, we’ll help you look at ways to protect your mortgage and your income.
