Hi guys. I'm in what surely can't be that uncommon a situation; my girlfriend is looking to take out a first time buyer mortgage in her name only. She has no deposit money. I do. But I can't go on the mortgage as I've not got a permanent contract at work and already have a joint mortgage.
So I just want to give her the deposit money and it's all sorted... BUT it turns out very few lenders will accept the deposit money unless it is a gift from blood relatives, which I'm obviously not.
Which is seriously annoying :(
Anyone else had this experience or know of lenders who would accept the deposit money coming from me?
Thanks in advance,
Valanaster
