Hi all,
I plan to buy my first home from a family member.
The scenario is:
- Family member has unoccupied property, which requires extensive renovations
- Family member no longer wants the property and so plans to sell it
- I would like to purchase the property. I have sufficient earnings, but do not have a deposit
- Family member has offered to gift me the deposit by way of equity in the property (i.e. property is valued - sale price is agreed at value - family member only receives money from mortgage - I do not part with any money)
- Family member has no further interest in property
Does anybody know if the above is possible? If so, which lenders would accept the above scenario?
Thanks in advance!
